What are your ideas for a 100mpg vehicle?

Could they win you this big prize?   Automotive X Prize Seeks 100-MPG Car

Didn't the plug in prius got pretty close to that?

You may be thinking of this Prius:   116 mpg Toyota Prius (Straightline)   Maybe the "production-ready" X Prize rule means you can't require drivers to drive barefoot to break 100 mpg?

I think the prize money is safe for a few more years.

I mean this:   http://www.calcars.org/vehicles.html   it will go to another level if yota has lithium ion figured out in the next gen prius

I agree. Rules are way too strict.

Basically what the rules say is that a private citizen or inventor can produce something that big automakers with huge capital are unable to do.

They're asking for a totally marketable car that does 100 mpg.

Not going to happen.   MrShiftright Visiting Host

So you don't think the 100 mpg.

Prius, is around the corner ?   I think we will see one within' a decade easy.   -Rocky

A decade is a long time in auto talk.

That is the story on hydrogen cars that has been going around for nearly 50 years.

They are still pie in the sky with a cost factor of over $100,000 for a Civic fuel cell car.

That prize is pretty safe until better batteries are invented.

What will hold it back is safety devices.

Every year more weight is added in the form of safety.

There are laws of physics that are not easily overcome.

You may be correct.

I still think it's possible we could see a Prius, or some other 100 mpg.

Car. I guess technically it already exists in the Tesla Roadster.   -Rocky
