Re: [Biofuel] fuel efficient cars and motorcycles

Fuel efficiency came a long way since then, but the relative difference between US and European vehicles seams to be the same. My memory must be slipping because I don't recall Ford or General Motors having something similar to a VW Lupo 3L (78 mpg US) or the VW 1L (235 mpg US)

Re: [Biofuel] fuel efficient cars and motorcycles

You are right, US did not have it in the past and do not have it today. High standard innovated designs, if it concerns safety or fuel efficiency, but also high cost, are European hall marks. I agree with you that the gap might have been widening, between nothing and active research and

Re: [Biofuel] fuel efficient cars and motorcycles

I'm getting a 1965 Royal Enfield Bullet ready for the road.  It is powered by a Lombardini Greaves 325 cc diesel.  Hopefully it will go 50 mph on B100 and get about 150-200 mpg.  Does anyone have experience with these motorcycles?  I believe they were available in the UK and in India.  Wish me

Re: [Biofuel] fuel efficient cars

Hi, When I did a part of the military service early 1960th 1,100 km north of Stockholm, I did this stretch in my 1955 VW on 80-90 liter. The 500cc one cylinder BSA I had, took about half of it and could do around 160-170 kmh. I also had a Plymouth V8 and it took 4-5 times more than the VW,

Re: [Biofuel] fuel efficient cars and motorcycles

I had a 1968 VW Beetle that got 28 mpg US not quit as good as you but it had a larger engine than yours and my foot was heavier back then. I loved the simplicity of it all although I grew tried of scraping the windows in winter with the window down. I eventually learned how to replace the

Re: [Biofuel] fuel efficient cars and motorcycles

Mopeds are defined by the engine and weight, the weight I do not remember straight off but the engine had to be under 50 cc. I Sweden they had an additional restriction and that was that they would not go faster than 30 kmph, which was achieved by reducing the carburetor intake and I do no know

Re: [Biofuel] fuel efficient cars

This might be interesting if the effects of gravity could be reduced or other technological developments implemented -- The VW 1L fuel economy is one litre per 100 kilometres or about 235 miles per US gallon in 2002 and I don't know what the average speed was. 290 kilogram (639 lb.)

I can tell you now you will have a lot of trouble from the ASPG if you propose this idea. See here: http://www.pugbus.net/News/05032005_joliegravity.htm Apparently Angelina Jolie has taken up the torch as spokesperson for the movement to conserve gravity. Like Jolie many of us here on the list

Re: [Biofuel] fuel efficient cars

I read at one of the links that you gave earlier, that they went on highway to a show. At average speed around 70 kmph and one person, the consumption was 0.89 l per 100 km, 1.35 l per 100 miles or 281 mpg. If you trim the weight and with a lower average speed, it should be possible to make a

Re: [Biofuel] fuel efficient cars

Hi Hakan, I was thinking of all the motorcycles I see and with some imagination and checking in with the department of motor vehicles one could build a two seater something like the VW 1L but with 3 wheels and possibly register it as a motorcycle though I haven't thought about this in
