The Twike is sort of a modern version of how the Flintstones got around -- it's a pedal powered human electric hybrid car. It can go as fast as 55 mph and get the equivalent of as much as 600 mpg, all while needing no fuel and minimal electrical power. I think it looks more like a covered bike with a reclined seat than a car, but it is cute and looks like it might even be comfortable to ride in. They're fairly new to the U.S. but hopes are high that soon they'll be everywhere. Each one is made to order and prices start around $27,000 (delivered).

You soon would have if you saved all that fossil fuel you're burning up.

NO, because then I wouldn't have been able to work!
