You can buy a small but real-live automobiile for less than $10,000. But these are not even actual CARS. If someone wants to sell these super-efficient death-trap motorized tricycles you've got to price them far-far lower.

BUT. But. They have, as far as I can tell, exactly ONE picture of an actual vehicle, sitting still at a trade show. All other pictures are obviously (somewhat shoddy) CG renders of the "concept". In the FAQ, they say that *scale model* testing indicates that it "shouldn't" roll over. If this were software, it would be in pre-alpha right now. It looks from their About page like the big innovation, if anything, is the Home Compressor thingummy, which they don't even describe in detail. They've driven it from San Francisco to LA (?). There is, in short, almost no real content.

Bottom line: they made it a trike to get around automobile safety testing requirements. It probaby gets great mileage, but they've barely used their one prototype at all, and it's never been crash tested, nor is it likely to ever be. It is sold by MLM and the main contact address is @hotmail.com. I'm not saying it *is* a scam, but I would watch my wallet around this guy.]]>Sep 8th 2006 3:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/eco-fueler-roadster-suffers-identity-crisis-at-70-mpg/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/eco-fueler-roadster-suffers-identity-crisis-at-70-mpg/Sep 8th 2006 4:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/eco-fueler-roadster-suffers-identity-crisis-at-70-mpg/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/eco-fueler-roadster-suffers-identity-crisis-at-70-mpg/Sep 8th 2006 6:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/eco-fueler-roadster-suffers-identity-crisis-at-70-mpg/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/eco-fueler-roadster-suffers-identity-crisis-at-70-mpg/Sep 8th 2006 10:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/eco-fueler-roadster-suffers-identity-crisis-at-70-mpg/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/eco-fueler-roadster-suffers-identity-crisis-at-70-mpg/Sep 8th 2006 10:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/eco-fueler-roadster-suffers-identity-crisis-at-70-mpg/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/eco-fueler-roadster-suffers-identity-crisis-at-70-mpg/
You can also fill up at home with a home refueling device. Any vehicle can be modified to utilize CNG for fuel.

i kinda want one just for that reason]]>Sep 11th 2006 7:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/eco-fueler-roadster-suffers-identity-crisis-at-70-mpg/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/eco-fueler-roadster-suffers-identity-crisis-at-70-mpg/Sep 12th 2006 4:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/eco-fueler-roadster-suffers-identity-crisis-at-70-mpg/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/eco-fueler-roadster-suffers-identity-crisis-at-70-mpg/
1) it's an every day-to-day COMMUTE vehicle. Save your big SUV for a weekend trip!
2) for those who said "get a motorcycle". Tricycle is safer because you can not swing-pass the cars with it.
I actually hate then motorcycle appears from nowhere exactly at the moment I want to go to the right lane.
One of my co-workers in his 40s got in 3 accidents in just one year. His insurance won't let him drive bike anymore

3) you probably can drive it alone in a carpoolHOV lane
4) how safe is compressor? is it Plug&Play type and where do you plug it in?
I don't remember having spare gas valve in my house
5) BklynKid "Only sacrifice would be that everyone will be pointing in awe and laughing behind my back"
Put a big sticker "I'm getting 70MPG! What's your excuse, moron?"

6) Put hybrid engine so it shuts down when not needed, stick solar PVC on top, wind turbine gyrators on the side, coffeemaker inside and I'm sold! ;-))
