".....Butler said he pays about $62 every three weeks to fill his 13.2 gallon tank, at a time when gas is about $6.70 per gallon."

Gasoline in Europe is going up as well.

Burning CH4 (a "greenhouse gas") produces mostly CO2 and H20 (the former being another greenhouse gas.) I wonder what the cost of CH4 would be in that compressed form as well as the feasibility of dispensing it to the car.

Nice looking, I like the tilting wheels, etc., but very impractical. They already have similar motorcycle/car combo things all over Paris. Not sure what they're called though.

Still, it does look fun to drive. But a top speed of 80? I wonder how noisy the thing is at that speed.

Nice idea. But around here, imagine getting plowed into by a Bubba in his 4 ton SUV.

Dayuumm... an 8,000 pound SUV!!!

What da heck is that one... the CANYONERO!!!

12 yards long, 2 lanes wide,
65 tons of American Pride!
CANYONERO!!!


But then again... the Furd Excursion is dayuum close to 4 tons coming in at 7,725 lbs curb weight. But seriously, most are around the 3 ton and under mark.
