I was much more excited about this announcement until I read that it was only a single cylinder three-wheeler. In other words a motorized tricycle. I’d really hate to get in to a high speed wreck with a large oncoming truck on the highway with that 
. Unless everyone else happens to be driving one as well you might as well be steering an aluminum soda can down the road waiting to be crushed.
Still though, they're moving in the right direction. Big oil's worst nightmare.

British Inventor Unveils 8000 MPG Car
A British inventor unveils the world's most fuel-efficient vehicle, a three-wheel “TeamGreen” car capable of doing 8,000 miles to the gallon.
The 45-year-old inventor, Andy Green, from the University of Bath, built his budget eco-motor for just £2,000, and will be the sole British contender for the title of the world's most fuel-economic car in a global competition being held later this month.
It has taken Mr. Green more than two years to design and build the car, which will be the fourth eco-vehicle he has built. He holds the British record for fuel-efficiency, with 6,603 miles to the gallon in a previous car.
According to the report, the new vehicle is powered by a single cylinder four-stroke engine with a capacity of just 35cc and runs with a special management system incorporating fuel injection.
A spokesman for Bath University says, "Andy Green is keeping the spirit of the lone British inventor who takes on the world very much alive."
