Start with the already existing 44% efficient Audi engine, get another 6% from the 56% wasted heat and you have 50%. Get another 16/56 conversion efficiency from the wasted heat energy and you are at 60%.

Combine that with the 5 year old EPA linked HH and you are over 100 MPG average in a 3800 pound car.

No new tech, no waiting for the miracle battery, just basically off the shelf components.
Don't want to use my design, becasue I have an agenda, I could care less DCB. Do it with some other technology if it exists.

Just do it NOW and bury OPEC, instead of waiting for another miracle just around the corner.
