We must NOT try to compare cars and bikes. I can take 4 people with me in my VW Rabbit in the rain and snow and get 50 mpg on the road! They will be warm and dry. This thread was about a CAR. Ford never mass produced a BIKE!

Re: 65MPG Ford
Do you have any ideas how many acres of farmland are being PAID NOT to grow anything?? I know a guy with THOUSANDS of acres that has not planted a thing for DECADES!! 'They' say that the payments are to keep the market from being 'flooded'!! He made more from NOT farming than he ever could have from selling his produce!! He was paid 'NOT' to grow corn or soybeans! After years of 'NOT' growing produce, he SOLD the land to the guv-ment to build a new womens prison!

I'd suspect those 4 people are about as comfortable as me in that thing as I am on a bike in the snow or rain. Last time I checked Ford was sitting on the board of Yamaha, though I'm sure they wised up and sold off that profitable company long ago to buy another money loser.

Re: 65MPG Ford
Last I read it was around 50,000 square miles but Bush was "working" on getting it down with ethanol crops... Though that bloated pig of a farm bill that was passed a while back seems to contradict his "efforts".

Wanna play the game or not???? 4 wheels, biggest mileage, at least room for 2 passengers and a driver. tagged and on the road. Gas, bio or diesel. We can set this up for sept 2009. You can trailer the 'unit' to the test site. MUST be internal combustion. ( No steam) (You have to build it yourself.) no 'new' cars! I cannot compete with a $1,000,000+ bankroll. The 'budget' for the 'build' is $1,000.

Not me, I don't have a farm to store all my "projects" so I need to stick with smaller projects which I can stuff inside of my garage. Currently housing an SVX, 4 motorcycles, a real Rabbit not the German name stealers, 2 SVX engines and of course the beer refrig all inside of a 9.5x18 2 story garage.
