Fuel Efficient Cars - Biodiesel - Hybrids

Motorhead Messiah

Johnathan Goodwin can get 100 mpg out of a Lincoln Continental, cut emissions by 80%, and double the horsepower. Does the car business have the guts to follow him?

I used to think the stories of the car industry suppressing innovation were only for the tin foil hat brigade, but this guy seems to be able to achieve amazing things - like a Hummer that can get 60 miles to the gallon and do zero to 60 in five seconds! Of course turning what he does into production engineering will be something else. We will also need to do something about the stupid tax regime that stops us using recycled cooking oil without paying tax as if it was pure fuel oil.
