In Hakan's post he said:
"2. Several times on this list, people have pointed out the flaws in
looking at single stage or a few stages efficiency. Only a few
weeks ago, Keith wrote in an elegant way about this."
Could someone please point me to this? It is one of my own favorite
topics.

Yes, that was a pretty interesting post.

A google search yields these further links:
Very exciting-looking, but upon further examination a year or two old.
Mentions a 100+ mile range with modest acceleration.

A message board post from a couple of months ago which lists a lot of
other links:
http://www.realgoods.com/board/tdoc.cfm?td=481&tm=2086&tstart=1#1
One of the links is apparently a yahoo discussion group.

I'm interested to know the real latest on this. It looks like things
have really moved along quite a bit. I'm also interested to get a
much better handle on the energy efficiencies of refueling.
