$10 million prize for 100 mpg car
Word is that the X-Prize Foundation, which has given awards for civilian space flights, will offer a $10 million prize for production-ready vehicles that get 100 miles per gallon or more. Announcement to come at the New York Auto Show. The winner is the one to produce the most production-ready vehicles.

It has to be a production car that can be bought stock that gives you 100mpg, this is old news, or possibly someone else into the mix. I remember hearing about this a couple years ago.

Right, the key is producing them in mass quantities. The goal isn't to produce just one. The winner is the one to produce the most production-ready vehicles.
