 Say "Hello" to 84 mpg
-
So I wonder how they make it get 84 mpg when we struggle to get 40

A friend of mine is looking seriously at buying one of these. When he looked into licensing the vehicle here in Missouri, he found out that the Missouri DMV considers this a motorcycle because it has less than 4 wheels. Therefore, he will be required to wear a helmet.

You can buy a place in line but so far they are vapor ware... a little googling shows production to start in 2015... maybe.

I wouldlike guess the 84 MPG is a long down hill slope.
I would like see it be real, but several claims seem pretty far out.

They've been trotting the one or two prototypes around the country taking orders to get on the list. For $100 you also get a T-shirt! Likely that's all you will get. Originally they said they would be out in '13, then '14 and now its '15. If they can sell them for $6000 as advertised, I'll eat your hat. A simple Rotax 2 stroke water cooled motor costs way more than that. I love the looks of it and would like to see it produced, but am doubtful as heck.

I have been following them since they came out and have one on reserve as I got in when they had the $100 refundable option. I figure I have wasted $100 on other things not as nice as this. I have seen the first prototype and also sat it in and am impressed in their advances over the past year and half. It will be amazing if they can pull it off with the 84mpg and $6800 price tag but I am not holding my breath for both things....

Chrysler says they will have a new hybrid van, full size, available in 2 years that will get 75 mpg.
-
Can't help wondering if it will overheat and have a gas smell.
-
These Elio marketing guys are back on the Can Am Spyder forum??? I guess they think that we drive a three wheel motorcycle so we would want a three wheel car.

I will buy one whenever they're available.
