Bigger Better Greener - Ideas for a better tomorrow.

Volkswagen decided to make bold move by producing lightweight 1-litre car that will have fuel consumption of only 282MPG. This small two seater will use diesel technology. Expected price would be 20-30,000 euros, what is not as cheap. Why not just buying a bike? Or using public transport? Also, if they already gone through whole process of creating this concept for production, why WV didn’t choose alternative fuel? It doesn’t look like it needs battery bigger than one on my laptop.
