Thanx for the link, Tasmodevil. I read the entire comment under it and was struck by the similarities to FF’s situation- except no transparency. Both have patents, both can have a huge impact on energy, and thus the entire economy. I especially liked the part about doing an experiment- maybe something from the A&M;collaboration.

The claim about 500 miles is BS- it can only apply to drivers who conscientiously drive slow, plan their changes in speed, all the factors of stretching the range of any vehicle. As a ferinstance, my 2000 Focus wagon can get around 32 MPG by driving in the 40 to 45 MPH range on long drives like I was making coming home from 2nd shift around 1:30 on a long country road.

It seldom happens that way in real life, and the trip to work was often racing the clock. No savings there!
