    as much as i understand the importance of advancing alternative fuels, how efficient is spending millions of dollars on a car that can only work in a limited environment.


    i think we should focus more on fuels that won't require the consumer to buy a new car, but only a modification

    @Back to the Future 2012. SPOILER: We don't die.:

    a) this is an exhibition event designed to spur R&D efforts.


    b) there is pleanty of snake-oil on ebay right now for you to waste your money and time on. Minor modifications aren't going to save any significant amount of energy (unless you are talking maintenance that keeps the vehicle running at its intended efficency/emissions levels), to achieve meaningful reductions in oil consumption with existing vehicles you would either need to convert to natural gas (still only a band-aid measure) or do a full engine swap over to diesel/bio-diesel, neither option is an easy modification.


    FYI - Ethanol is a joke.

    @Back to the Future 2012. SPOILER: We don't die.: Most cars on the street today will not be running in 15 years. If vehicle propulsion is revolutionized by some alternate fuel, we could replace most cars in that time.

    @SumAsian: Many good engineering universities have similar solar car teams, and compete in the same competitions.
