The Trybrid cars runs with ZAP Eco-Flex fuel: ethanol E-100, gasoline and/or natural compressed gas in any proportion in the same tank. Check out the Obvio ! 828E 100% Electric version.

The Obvio ! 828 achieves a fuel economy of 12.5 km/liter (29.40 mpg) in urban driving and 17.3 km/liter (40.69 mpg) during highway driving when equipped with ZAP Eco-Flexible Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) - 1.6 Liter/115Hp High Fuel Efficiency

Also available with Obvio !'s "HIGHPOWERSERIES" 170 and 250 HP engines. (All mileage ratings are estimated with 100 percent ethanol as the assumed fuel source, gasoline should yield about a 10% increase in mileage).

What is the advantage of Ethanol E100? It's a combination of high-performance and high mileage for any situation. E100 means that the car runs at any percentage mixture of ethanol, gas, natural compressed gas or even pure ethanol (which is less expensive), or pure gas, if the owner so chooses. It's up to you, the owner, how to combine the fuels. To sum it up, it is a very flexible fuel vehicle!

"The Telsa convertible is an example of a product that is eco friendly yet fun."

Yes, and you can buy one just as soon as the charger for the unobtanium battery is completed.

[reg45]

Yes! How quickly they forget!

[null and void]

Diesel engines running on bio-diesel are far more efficient.

Whale oil
the carbon neutral, renewable
petroleum alternative

But what’s clinton got to do with el caminos?

[P-40]

at 110 octane, ethanol is excellent fuel

But with more processing you'd get butanol...and not have the 'water issues' that ethanol has.

I don’t know. Toyota really got the jump on Honda on the marketing...and how large is the market for the people that want to show that they are ‘saving’ the planet?

[TXnMA]

More ignorance on parade...

[P-40]

but definitely not mass market any time soon.

They have an interesting niche market and some deep-pocket investors...so it will be fun to watch what they can do.

[P-40]

I can hardly wait for the ZAP-X.

You can place an order for one now. I don't know what the delivery time is though. I guess they have all the 'street legality' issues worked out. If not, they had better do it before 2008 is up.

I assume you're saying I'm parading ignorance.

Perhaps I'm too ignorant to know what ignorance in my ignorant post you're referring to.

Care to enlighten me?
