VW's 235 mpg car

By GottaLaff

In 2010, we may see these on the road:

...Volkswagen is bringing new meaning to the term "fuel efficiency" with a bullet-shaped microcar that gets a stunning ... 235 mpg.

Volkswagen's had its super-thrifty One-Liter Car concept vehicle -- so named because that's how much fuel it needs to go 100 kilometers -- stashed away for six years. The body's made of carbon fiber to minimize weight (the entire car weighs just 660 pounds) and company execs didn't expect the material to become cheap enough to produce the car until 2012.

But VW's decided to build the car two years ahead of schedule.

It looks cool, too, doesn't it? All futuristic and bullety and stuff. It's tiny though, not big enough for all those well-dressed beverages I'm going to start carrying around with me.
