Avion car goes border to border on one tank of diesel

But, who will that make money for?

America continues to block diesel, unfortunately.

They have 70 mpg cars over in Europe right now.

Diesel. Poor performance. Awful smelling. Better mileage.

Nah. I'll take gas.

Yeah, but diesel prices have gone through the roof over here.
Many small petrol cars are very efficient these days.
There's a trend towards turbo-charging small petrols also.

Diesel should be cheaper than gasoline, but suppliers and taxes make it more expensive.

Yea, there are more efficient cars over in Europe, whereas we're dragging years behind them.

It's sad that this car from the 1980's beats anything on our roads today.

The 1970's called. They want you to stop living in them.

Not True! You are ill informed, I recommend that you update your data banks occasionally.

Space Age car lacks nothing but some well-heeled buyers

"Henderson had become the sole entrepreneur still dedicated to the idea of building the car for sale. His Henderson Motor Co. is now ready to accept its first order for an Avion, priced at $30,000."

LOL

people are stuck in all manner of times and places, none of them being reality in the here and now.

"Originally the car was built as a performance sports car," Henderson said "But we found it got great fuel economy."

After setting the record, Henderson said they hoped to be able to start mass-producing the car. Three things got in their way: money, experience, and a nation of drivers unconcerned about fuel prices.

"In 1986 the fuel economy was not a great concern," Henderson said. "We had a glut of fuel. Boy, how times have changed. It's one thing to build a car that gets 100 miles per gallon; it's another thing to build a company that builds that car."
