230 MPG car. Is there such a thing?
VW L1 concept car, gets it's name because it uses 1 liter of gasoline per 100 km.
That is about 230 miles per US gallon.
It's very small and the passenger seat is behind the driver.
It can get going to around 75 mph.
It has 4 wheels and so has to meet US automobile standards for safety.
This baby should be out in 2010.

300 mpg car Aptera
Here is some info about a 300-mpg, three-wheeled car.
The car is going to sell above $20,000.
The prototype has come out and some are on the highways with delivery in about a year.
The current model gets to 60 mph in about 11 seconds and can get to a top speed of 95 mph.
It's fuel-efficient because it is extremely light.
The engine is very small - one cylinder, used to charge it's batteries.
American safety regulations say it is technically a motorcycle,
keeping it in a different league for safety regulations.
