50mpg is obviously not that hard....
Dec 30^th, 2007 at 1:25pm

MUMBAI - Some of the secrecy surrounding the Tatas’ "1-Lakh" small car has been shed, with a company executive disclosing that the vehicle will get 25 kilometers (15.5 miles) per liter and in performance terms will match the Maruti 800, one of the most popular cars in the budget segment of the Indian market.

“It’s an eco-car with a 25 kilometer-per-liter mileage on petrol, meets every international standard and specification, including Euro-4 norms. Acceleration wise, it’s the same as a Maruti 800,” R. A. Mashelkar, a nonexecutive director on Tata Motors’ board, told reporters in Calcutta.

Seriously?!?

Yeh, apparently these are not all that uncommon figures for mpg.

It looks like the consumer does have appropriate options, so it would seem the consumer culture probably has alot to answer for.

Maybe SUVs should be outlawed and vehicle weights brought down. This may/will effect safety so I suppose speed limits will have to come down aswell.

I assume you do not own a vehicle. Do you really ride a horse?

Why would you assume I do not own a vehicle?

Because you advocate banning fossil fuel. It is reasonable to assume that if you feel strongly about the use of it you do not use any yourself.

No, that is not reasonable.

You advocate that I starve and die in this world where transport is essential.

Yes, I own a vehicle.

No you advocate it. You suggested the banning of fuel.

But to use fossil fuel while advocating its banning seems somewhat hypocritical what?

My point is that you should read the thread for the first time old friend. It would be unnecessary to ask the question you just asked.
