Right, the super-low-consumption models were tiny things.

I think the Edison2 VLC Electric version came close to delivering a consistent 100w-h/mi consumption rate at conventional speeds. But that thing is like driving a wingless plane, it's all about the aero and weight savings with those guys.

As it should be. That's an approach that is demonstrably effective, every time, for everyone.
