interesting..
i wanna see this car in person

 

Maybe I don't have an eye for detail, but isn't this the same as the Nagare except with an interior?

 

You know these E-85 cars get 30% less mpg when not running gasoline. Imagine viewing your fuel level needle dropping 30% faster. I wish they would put the money and effort into a forced air or 3 rotor engine, rather than waste it on political correctness.

I recently read an article saying E-85 is no cleaner than gasoline, it just makes different exhaust gasses. The article gives the particulars, then makes the point that if you burn oil and burn leaves, they both make black smoke. Then the guy burning the leaves points out his has no petrolium residue, while ignoring the residue he has that the oil burning doesn't.

There is no "free lunch" you know.

 

E-85 isn't promoted for economy, but because it's made here and not the middle east.

 

It is made here, but they use petrolium to run all the mechanicals that plant, fertalize, harvest and refine. Then it must be trucked to where it is used because it cannot be pipelined like petrolium. In fact, creating bio fuels and getting them to market is so energy intensive that if you used the biofuels you are making to run and ship it, you only have about 15% maximum more than it takes to make. Well that is optomistic, based on no weather prob, maintenance, and bumper crops of corn per acre. Look it up if you don't believe me.

 

yup... you're raping the ground of nutrients to get that fuel. Dirt isn't an endless resource. You need to put back in order to allow more crops to grow.

 

my thoughts exactly. the inside is sick though.

 

Unless 99.5% of the existing rx8's somehow disappears. It ain't gona happen.
