    same reason why an lpg taxi will be able to travel 600,000kms and rarely need a service.. it's not the amount of distance you drive, it's the stop and starting the engine that wears the car out.. sure, for taxi's this is fine, but for the other 99.99% of the population that isnt a taxi driver, the batteries still require replacement.

Then make money from that...
    yeah i watched it on fox a month or 2 ago.. was very interesting.. it was a very expensive car and it was ugly, but, it was light years ahead of anything..

    why is it that all "green" cars look so repulsive?

    i remember reading about an australian guy who invented and engine that ran purley on water and was efficient.. someone tried to silence, but he refused.. he then disappeared, the engine disappeared, and the shell of the car was found in some garage under a sheet in katoomba..

    the technology is there, but it's either;

    too expensive
    not compact enough
    not viable - ie, not enough profit to be made in the long run

    one of the reasons why car manufacturers and oiil companies make soooo much money is because you'll always be coming back for more of their product....

    I'm more interested in Nissans ELECTRIC car not this hybrid BS...

    If i could do it, i would be doing it, im sick of forking out cash for fuel, i swear there watering it down ( pun intended ) as prices go up, the more my car uses Click here to enlarge

    I also agree with the above statements about the supposed hybred, its aint, it still chews fuel.........but even a purely electric car will consume some form of fossil fuel, its just comeing from a different source is all.

    On purely highway driveing my astra can just hover arund the 6.3l to 100k, thats pretty good i gues, for now Click here to enlarge

    Hold on, I think I've missed something here!

    'll just go and get my beige cardigan and slippers and sit back down and re-read all about the exciting Toyota (yawn) Camry.

    I might be old . . . but I'm not THAT old that I would ever consider a Camry.
    Old enough to know better . . . Too old to care!

    has anyone seen magnetic perpetual generators?? Seen a few videos on youtube and elsewhere.. They use magnets to create a perpetual motion and hook it up to a generator to create free electricity..

    the examples people have come up with are amazing!
