$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('kaktus', 'G')reat, do you know anything about the engine and contol electronics? I saw the common way is to use a 50cc engine, but not more.
I'm not a technician, just curious.

To get back to the topic of 3145mpg etc., back in 1992 or so Road and Track (american car enthusiast magazine) took a new at the time Geo Metro XFI and a Honda Civic VX (the high gas mileage models of the 2 cars) and drove them the way the gas mileage contest cars are driven. They got 104+mpg in the Honda, and 116+mpg with the Geo, using the "pulse and glide" driving techniques used in the small experimental cars.

This vehicle travels 53 miles on 1 kilowatt hour, reaching top speeds of 55 mph:

These vehicles get the equivalent of 1500 mpg, and are built by high school students for an average cost of few thousand dollars.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')n Electrathon vehicle has three or four wheels and is powered by an electric motor running off batteries. Electrathons are raced under rules which specify matters such as length and width of the vehicles (12 feet long and 4 feet wide maximum) and total weight of batteries (64 pounds for lead-acid batteries, a few more for gel cell battereis), with the weight of the drivers being ballasted to 180 pounds.
The relatively low cost of the electrathon racing has made the sport a popular activity for high school age students world-wide who learn skills related to design, problem-solving, teamwork, math, physics, and electricity.

At present, the world record for distance travelled in one hours time is 53 miles.
