    This! not to mention any electric car adds $40K, makes the fuel savings look like a booger. That's what pisses me off about hybrid/electric cars, they are ripping people off. When I worked at Oak Ridge National Laboratory we had electric cars that didn't cost dick and got 80-100mi range. Just a scam! I still plan to build one and use it as an example.

    I thought we were building a car here? It isn't harder for them to use an 85.8mm stroke or run a larger compressor wheel. Even the TiAL turbine would cheap in the volume a major manufacturer could push.
