The Car that can travel 3330 km on a SINGLE LITRE by HandsomeDon 2014/06/03 09:20
If you are buying a car and are worried about good mileage, check out this car built by French students that can travel around 3,330 km per litre.
According to Daily Mail, “The carbon fibre Microjoule, which weighs just 35kg, could cover the 200 mile (320 km) journey between London and Manchester for just 12p (20 cents). The superlight vehicle was the winner of the Shell European Eco-Marathon contest to find the world's most fuel efficient vehicle. Even though the students claimed that the car would travel 40,000 km on a single litre of fuel, after testing on a track, judges at the event in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, calculated the car could do 2,072 miles (3,330 km) per litre. The cost of driving 24,901 miles around the world's widest point would be justRs.1536.â€
The report said, “The Microjolie was built by students at the La Joliverie College, in Nantes, western France, who beat 200 other teams competing at this week's event. A student who worked on the Microjoule project said: 'The car has an internal combustion engine and runs on ordinary fuel. Students of the Hogeschool van Amsterdam also set a circuit record with a score of 266 miles (428.5 kilometres) per kilowatt hour with their vehicle H2A. If they could drive around the world at the equator, that road trip would cost them no more than £16 (*27) in electricity bills.â€

Vive la France!
... Sadly chances of it making it to the production line are less than zero.
