that things ugly as hell I dont care if it got 200 mpg, I still wouldn't buy one, It might be practical in heavily populated small countries but in the US will millions of miles of roads, these little things could cause some serious accident, there 0-60 is probably slower then the original beetle
 
:hitit:

Fuck, at 106mpg, under 19k, use it for commute car, i've been averageing about 32mpg in my GLI driving back and fourth to work and about 24-26mpg driving in the city, getting over 3x that would rock
 
At least the concept looks a hell of a lot better than those damn smart cars.
 
Plug that into the shop air at work for a quick refill. :ph34r:
 
fuck that, get a couple Viar 480 compressors (used on air bag suspension systems) and you will be all set...

Another expert expressed concern about the amount of energy it would take to generate the required air pressure: 4,500 pounds per square inch, or more than 120 times the pressure inside the tires of a typical four-door sedan.
"That is above what you normally find even in an industrial setting," said William Bulpitt, senior research engineer at the Georgia Institute of Technology's Strategic Energy Institute.
