Surprise! 250+ mpg car allowed to enter production


Surprise! 250+ mpg car allowed to enter production

Permalink
The specs on this thing actually tick me off, because they reveal a scam we all have to live with. This car weighs over 1,700 pounds, and though it can be plugged in, even without plugging it in, it gets 250 plus mpg and will do 98 mph. By that math, a Cadillac should get 100 mpg, RIGHT?
This car by Volkswagen has been around since at least 2007. They are stating it will have an enormous price tag, but originally it was a cheap design. This is only news because somehow it is entering production. It goes 98 mph and does zero to 60 in a respectable 12 seconds, which is much much faster than an empty semi could ever dream of doing. Though 12 seconds sounds slow, it really is not.
The marketing plan is obviously to price it out of reach so only the elite will be able to buy it anyway. My question in all of this is, if a car can get 250 plus mpg why is it that a Kawasaki Ninja EX250 motorcycle has trouble getting over 90 mpg, and IF a reasonably performing ninja can get 90 mpg, howcome a moped or scooter struggles to get 60 mpg? it is all a SCAM. There is no reason at all why something like a Cadillac can´t get over 80 mpg, other than intentional limits.
It is a fact that today´s cars are forced to burn dirty enough to heat up the catalytic converter, and send enough unburned fuel plus oxygen out the tail pipe to make sure the catalytic converter gets hot enough to be effective. Modification of cars, such as the chip for the Impala (a severe oversight on the part of G.M.) can force the ECM to run more efficiently and successfully chipped 4 door full size Impalas can easily break 50 MPG despite programmed inefficiencies, and STILL waste enough fuel to heat up the catalytic converter enough to pass emissions while doing so. And if you manage to make your car run efficiently enough to negate the converter, you won't pass emissions, because the testing system is designed to look for arbitrary exhaust component ratios that will show the car has been modified and fail you even if hydrocarbon emissions are passable.
I suggest simply getting rid of the converter, and using the amazing capabilities of computer control to keep emissions clean by making the engine run optimally. The Impala chip lays the scam bare, it is obvious our cars are rigged to be inefficient crap by design.
At any rate, because this thing has been around since at least 2007 it is obvious Volkswagen had to cut a deal to be allowed to produce this car, one which takes a cheap design and prices it far out of reach of average people to make GOOD AND SURE the entire thing remains a mystery to the greater population.
Looking at the design, it uses reliable but higher than average pressure tires and could be more efficient than it is, this is obviously a 250 plus mpg vehicle designed for everyday use with nothing truly exotic about it at all, nothing at all that requires special consideration or care the way a fully optimized design would. This is where bread and butter should take us by default.

IF THIS TICKS YOU OFF.....i SPENT 3 DAYS IN 1996 DOING PATENT SEARCHES FOR MY PATENT AT THE AT THE USPTO IN THE UNIVERSITY OF WA ENGINEERING LIBRARY. THE LAST DAY I GOT DONE EARLY AND USED MY REMAINDER OF ALLOTED TIME TO CHECK OUT GAS/FUEL SAVING PATENTS.....WELL THERE WERE 0VER 150 THAT I FOUND AND I AM SURE THERE ARE FAR MORE.....THEY HAD BEEN BOUGHT OFF BY BIG OIL ETC. TO KEEP THEM OFF THE MARKET... IF YOU CAN FIND IT ON google CHECK OUT ZAPX, ELECTRIC CAR FROM ZAP MOTORS IN CALIFORNIA. 600 HP, 5 SEATS, 0-60 IN 3.3 SECONDS, 350 MILE RANGE, AND TAKES A CHARGE IN 10 MINUTES. LOOKS LIKE A ACURA SUV. BEING MANUFACTURED SOON IN.....................CHINA

Well, it's a start. Perhaps this will open the door for more of these cars to make it to production, which means that the price will eventually come down too.

i used a geet heater on my generator with a bong runs great till the additives in the gas gum up. i think that is why we had prohibition of moon shine so they could reformulate the gas to gum up instead of a clean evap . i have 2001 gmc 18 ft cube van it gets 9 miles to the gallon when i at 2 ozs of xyloft to a full tank i get 10.5 and allot less heat. i read that caly is adding it to there gas to meet the emission standard there. why do they not put it in all gas? because it gives a 25% increase in milage! i would love to compare notes with others.hopefully the new board will allow for this type of collaboration. i want to put the geet reactor on a vehicle. but mine are all injected. i need someone with a carburetor car in my area.i am sure a group of regular people could get it done! the science is just basics nothing fancy

Programmed inefficiencies. Interesting. Computers invoke notions of high-tech, high performance, optimization. Not necessarily. Who wouldn't want a product to perform flawlessly? Only a brain-dead person would want to design a product that would run optimally. Right? Corporations operate in an alternate universe where common sense rules don't apply.

I built and installed an HHO generator for my carbed 1983 F-100 pickup. I removed the 380cfm 1 barrel carb and installed new alum intake, 500cfm carb and split exhaust from 87 up Fuel injected 300 inline 6. I have always had to run 93 octane gas to prevent valves knocking. I went from 10mpg to 15mpg. Lot better before they started putting in ethanol in gas. With HHO generator i got about 25% better mileage. Without HHO and adding 100% acetone, 3 ounces to every 10 gallons of gas, I'm getting about 40% better mileage. I am also able to use 89 octane gas with no problems. It also keeps my oil much cleaner between changes...I swear by it. But make sure it is 100% acetone because I've used some that must not be 100% and you can really tell the difference.
