    A great lens and it gives something to think about. Recently I saw a test in german television where they tested the new, so called 'green' or 'eco' cars versus their antecessors. The 'eco-friendly' new Golf Bluemotion for example used more gasoline than the Golf I from 1974 in the same test environment. The same result they got for all other tested companies. Almost 40 years of development and none of the big players comes up with a concept of a car using less gasoline. But how could they, as long as the Saudi's hold a huge part of their shares.

    In addition to the vehicles you highlight, there's also the work of MIT scientist Dr. Cohn and his plasmatron, which converts gas to plasma and burns more efficiently. The device looks like a large spark plug.

    Then there's the air car designed by Guy Negre, which India's Tata car company has made a production deal with. The air cars will also go into limited production in the US, in New Paltz, NY, in 2010. And an Australian engineer, Angelo di Prieto, has designed a highly efficient rotary air engine for EngineAir.com.au.
