Re: Stirling Engine!
The little cars in the supermileage competition get between a few hundred and 1500 mpg. They aren't practical for transportation, though.
$1,000,000 won't buy much product development these days. The government can help by raising mileage requirements, which forces carmakers to sell smaller, lighter cars. Fuel prices will have to get very high before folks who can easily afford $50k+ SUVs really have to worry about the cost to operate them. Depreciation is still the biggest expense!
