Porsche with a Plug

The 918 Spyder will be the world's fastest plug-in hybrid.

I'm not asking the price, but it is "Nice".

Not so fast Hybrids, Innovation may make Internal combustion more, efficient, and may help you to get laid.

Transonic Combustion, a startup based in Camarillo, CA, has developed a fuel-injection system it says can improve the efficiency of gasoline engines by more than 50 percent. A test vehicle equipped with the technology gets 64 miles per gallon in highway driving, which is far better than more costly gas-electric hybrids, such as the Prius, which gets 48 miles per gallon on the highway.

Fuel processing improves efficiency, Goooolly, Detroit never thought of this?

The key is heating and pressurizing gasoline before injecting it into the combustion chamber, says Mike Rocke, Transonic's vice president of business development. This puts it into a supercritical state that allows for very fast and clean combustion, which in turn decreases the amount of fuel needed to propel a vehicle. The company also treats the gasoline with a catalyst that "activates" it, partially oxidizing it to enhance combustion.

Techno-babble from start-up companies that offer miraculous environmental solutions tend to make check to see that my wallet is still where it is supposed to be.

Sadly, if you have to look at the price, you can't afford it. ($630,000)

Indeed.

Think of the statement ownership makes about how concerned you are with the environment? Oh, well, I guess I'd have to paint it green?
