I look at it like this. If one of those tiny underpowered very specialty vehicles can get 10,000 MPG then there should be no problem getting 100 MPG in mine. That's only 1% or 1/100th the mileage they are getting. I read somewhere that they built a small drone aircraft that can cross the atlantic ocean on 2 gallons of fuel. I dream of sailplanes climbing a mile and gliding 40 miles. Aerial P&G, now that would be a lot of fun.

While automotive technology has progressively improved as a general statement, the potential for vast improvements is there and we ignore potential design improvements because we are agenda driven and ignorant.

One is curable. The other is pitiful.
