turbines would have horrible mileage.

Their exhaust is terribly hot, and lots of it also.

I recall Chrysler built 50 GTurb. cars and gave them to people to drive, then switched them to other folks.
They wanted feedback as they were considering production.

One of the warnings was ' don't sit in one place very long ( long stoplights was about max.) or the exhaust will melt the asphalt.

Saw one in Miami.

M-1A Abrams tank drivers used to take care of tailgating BMW’s on the Autobahn by gunning the engine. Exhaust would peel the paint off the Beemer. Melt some of the plastic too!
