Bushnell has been relegated to the dust bin of history, all of the founders and initial supporters all living the lives of the super rich, as well they should. Sort of like the Bee Gees.

Here's a page of pithy goodness for you to peruse.
And why for the love of all that is holy......would someone repeat a mistake 5 or 6 times in a post......and not go back and edit it out to make it a non sequitur? I dunno about the rest of you, but Ecomodder supplied me with a little green "Edit" button at the bottom of all the posts I make. Ain't nuthin here that needs to be a historical record....exspecially if I'z is sayin stoopid stuff. |
Because you all have read it and quoted and your can't change history and to do so only looks like you switch sides or lacked conviction. Seems silly to try to hid your mistakes specially when you can just read the next post to see the original...
Thanks that does bring me up to date.
And it seems I am a couple of years too late and from the look of it a couple of millions light.
BUT it also perhaps show I was on the right path:

Frequently Asked Questions | Vapor Fuel Technologies
"
Where can I buy one?
The VFT fuel system is not available to the public at this time. We are in the process of completing the final design and testing.
When will the VFT fuel system be ready for consumers?
Our goal is to begin sales of the first of the VFT fuel systems in 2010. We are however making presentations to fleet owners for budgetary purposes prior to that time.
How much will it cost to retrofit my vehicle?
Other than large fleet owners with trained mechanics, our current plan is to market through installing distributors. We believe the cost for a fully installed retrofit system will be about $900.00 U.S.
Will it work on my vehicle?
We have successfully tested the VFT System on several different vehicles and are constantly expanding that number. We will be posting, and updating, a list of tested and approved vehicles in the near future.
Which vehicles will the first fuel systems be available for?
VFT has decided to introduce the system in stages based on engine platforms. The first retrofit packages will be for the larger 8 cylinder Trucks and SUVs. We believe this will make the largest immediate impact to the economy concerning gas prices and environmental issues.
Can my vehicle be used for testing?
VFT is not accepting individual vehicle donations for testing of the product. We are however seeking fleet vehicles for testing to begin in 2009.
Why should I continue using fossil fuel?
VFT believes that alternative technologies are going to be very viable and will make significant impacts to the environment and the economy. Unfortunately, most of the alternate technologies are still early in the development stage and the infrastructure does not exist to support them. We believe our products will help lessen our dependency on oil now while the technology and infrastructure are created in the coming years."
The $64,000 question is what happened to their roll out..it is now 2013...
