300 Mile Per Gallon Electric Car |
| Could this be the answer to high gas prices? |

No it would not. Because at the end of the day in order to get the electricity needed to run the car some kind of fossil fuel needs to be used to make it. And then storing it over time, and the electricity will dissipate slowly. So its quite inefficient. Wait a minute, if its an electric car, how the hell is it getting 3K miles per GALLON, a gallon of what?? 
"According to Fambro the all-electric Aptera is expected to go roughly 120 miles on a full charge, while the series hybrid will travel 600 miles on a full battery and a full tank of gas — the equivalent of 300 mpg."

It looks like a concept car, would be cool though.

Um, we'd need some way of charging these things, which wouldn't be cheap. Either way, fossil fuels are going to be burned using them.

I agree with the question "how does it get 300 mpg", although, It might mean 300 miles per charge, or perhaps it is a hybrid model as well. However, Electricity can be made using Nuclear power as well. edit: yep I see they have a hybrid Post edited at 12:38 pm on June 4, 2008 by Event Horizon

That car is so impractical the MPG wouldn't matter.

I would like to drive something that looks like a car, not something I pick up and start vacuuming a car with. Gas prices are high right now, but nothing to take drastic measures over, in my opinion.
