We like to ooo and ahh over gadget-y cars like the Honda Civic Hybrid and Toyota Prius, especially when rumors swirl about turbocharged engines getting 100 miles per gallon. But then we saw this winner of the SAE Super Mileage Competition, a car which racked up a jaw-dropping 3145 miles per gallon. This is a particularly amazing feat, because it's nearly twice as efficient as its predecessor: the same Canadian team won the competition last year with a 1600mpg car.
Just think, this car could drive from New York to L.A. on a gallon of gas. Plus, it looks damn cool. I guess Canadians aren't that bad after all.

(from the article: and drawing on Canada's storied advancements in dildonics) whoah. i bet my lesbian friend can get like 10,000 MPG.
yeay! i cant wait to roll across the U.S. of A. in a giant penis.
Yo, I bet the thing is light as hell and a small wind could knock it over. Either that, or it cant hold more than 1 person carrying a wallet and nothing more. Kinda cool though.
Im assuming that these arent massed produced is because no one wants to drive around in a car that looks like a dildo.
Thanks, Charlie! Come visit anytime! And bring John (kicking and screaming, if necessary).
It looks like the car in the Saturday Night Live TV Funhouse cartoon for "the ambiguously gay duo"
yeah, but how fast can it run the quarter mile?
Yeah... one gallon of gas from NY to LA... But it will not make it up the Rockies....or any small hill by that token. This is a techological feat, yet... aside from the R&D for R&D's sake, there not technology applicable to everyday's commute. (Specially when the SUV right behind you parks on top of you at the next traffic light). made2last.... quarter mile in.... say 2 ~ 3 minutes...
3145 miles per gallon just *happens to be* 1337 kilometers per litre, which proves how freaking 'leet this is.
