Elio Motors car to get 84mpg $6800
https://www.eliomotors.com/my-strengths/
Who will jump on this for $6800 Why Elio? Simple … 84 mpg It gets 84 miles to the gallon on the highway. That means you can go from Detroit to New York City on a tank of gas – or drive from Shreveport LA to Dallas and back – then back to Dallas again – and still have about 110 miles left before a refill. How is that possible? Keep reading. 8-Gallon Tank It can go 672 miles, or thereabouts, because it has an 8-gallon tank and 8X84=672. Of course, other factors will affect your mileage but you get the point. Only $6,800 It only costs $6,800. That’s about what you would pay for an outboard motor to power a rowboat. Safety Each Elio comes equipped with a Safety Management System that includes three airbags – a reinforced roll-cage frame, Anti-Lock Braking System, and 50% larger crush zones than similar vehicles. Preliminary safety tests on computer models anticipate a 5-Star safety rating. American Made = American Jobs It should come as no surprise that Elio will create a number of much-needed jobs for American workers. We’re estimating 1,500 jobs at our Shreveport, LA plant beginning in the spring of 2014. Fun It’s a blast to drive. Imagine every little errand, every daily commute being something you look forward to because it means you’ll be driving your Elio. It looks cool. And face it, you are what you drive, so that will make you one cool person. Unique Because of its unique design, people will talk. They’ll also stare, smile, give you a thumbs up and who knows what else. And while everyone is smiling at you from the outside, trust us, you’ll be smiling from within. Eco-Friendly This is a very green vehicle – and we’re not just talking about the color. Yes, it gets 84 MPG on the highway, but you’ll be doing your share of city driving, too. Fear not, with its city rate of 49 MPG, you’ll be consuming only 1/3 of what the average American vehicle consumes. Power in Numbers An inline, 3 cylinder, 1 liter, 70 HP, fuel-injected, SOHC gas-powered, liquid-cooled, automotive engine. Our Transmission Mission 5-speed manual or automatic. And yes, it has a reverse gear. Fast Facts Top speed is in excess of 100 MPH, and the 0-60 speed is under 9.6 seconds. So it’s not exotic sports car fast, but it’s not slow, either. And while a gas-guzzling muscle car might pass you, no one will pass gas stations like you. Great Traction The engine is in the front and it is a front-wheel-drive vehicle. So, with a low center of gravity and weight towards the front, you’ll get great traction action – even in the snow. You Deserve a Big Brake We will have 3-wheel disc brakes with the Anti-Lock Braking System on 15″ wheels. So your Elio will not only stop onlookers in their tracks, it’ll stop you, too – quickly and safely. A Suspension as Independent as You The first cousin of cool is smooth. So we’ve built Elio on an independent suspension with unequal length control arms, coil-over-spring and shock in the front and mono-shock with coil-over-spring and shock in the rear. The ground clearance is 5.75″ — similar to most of the passenger vehicles you see on the road today. Heads Up. A Word About Interior Room Interior measurements are as follows: Headroom: Driver 39.8 Passenger 36.4 in Seat width: Driver 20.6 Passenger 25.3 in Interior Shoulder Width: 26.8 in Front seat Legroom: 42.7 in Rear seat Legroom: 33.1 in Elio has been designed to fit 95% of all men. The tallest person we have had in the Elio is a 6’8″ former college basketball player, the largest is a 6’3″ 325 lb man, and the smallest is a 5’0″ woman (no, we didn’t ask the weight!). They all fit and loved it! If you are outside of these sizes, you’ll just have to hop into an Elio yourself and see how it fits. How about the outside Overall Length: 160.5″ Front Wheel Track: 66.8″ (center rim to center rim) Wheelbase: 110″ (center of front wheels to center of rear wheel) Overall Height: 54.2″ Listen to the Sound of Silence The body panels are made of a composite (which is more sound deadening than steel) and attached to a tight, solid body that doesn’t have a lot of moving (read squeaky) parts. These two design features help keep outside noise from getting into the cockpit and getting in the way of your favorite tunes playing on our AM/FM radio (that’s standard). When You Need Your Space The trunk space will be at least 27″ x 14″ x 10″, enough for an airline carry-on bag or a golf bag with the rear seat down (47″+). If you’re the working type, tools, blueprints, briefcases, and who knows what else can also be accommodated. Uncommon Standards When you own an Elio, you’re not just a customer, you’re part of a family. So we’re not going to lure you in with that $6,800 low price, only to mention things like A/C and an AM/FM radio are extra. They’re not. You get those items plus heater, defrost, the three airbags, power windows and door lock, seat belts, tempered glass, and windshield wiper at no extra cost. |

Actually I kind of like this thing. Most of the time when I drive its only me in there and this way I never have to give anybody rides. Never have to be DD or be the least drunkest guy to drive home. And also you get to stand out as one goofy sob

Or commuters. Something like that would save me somewhere around $100/month on gas. I'd have to be convinced it was safe to get too excited about it, but I can see it gaining some traction as gas prices continue to climb in the coming years.

It's a trike, and you'll have to get a Motorcycle license to drive one(at least in most places today). Insurance will also be motorcycle insurance. But the plus is motorcycle MPG and the ability to use carpool lanes by yourself in some states. Realistically this isn't a terribly novel concept they've tried to market a bunch of trikes in the past few years to make riding less intimidating and 'easier' but none of them have really taken off.

Reminds me of the Carver or Venture One that was being developed a few years ago. The Venture One was a hybrid supposed to seat two and get 100 MPG. It worked on a Carver-like chassis.
