If you haven? heard of the Motorhead Messiah, Jonathan Goodwin, let me introduce you: he hacks cars for a living, and he can get 60 mpg out of an H3 Hummer while doubling the horsepower and cutting emissions in half. Unbelievable? Yes, but this is no joke, and it?s doesn?t defy the laws of physics either. The hacked H3 is a hybrid with the gasoline fuel system removed. In its place, Goodwin installed a biodiesel-burning jet turbine to recharge the electrical system.

1st time for me and that?s pretty cool. I just wish this country would really get serious about alternatives that are plug_and_play like Europe has done.

I will never ever by a "eco" car but I would like to see some level headed intelligence put into practice here at home. We have more technology here than anywhere else and there is no excuse that we are trying harder to get more MPG.

I guess if the oil industry wasn't run by a bunch of greedy bastids then you might see some stuff like that in your life time. I don't expect to see production versions of it for 30 or more years due in part to the politics of this country.
