Default Alternative Fuels

Makes you wonder. All the multi billion dollar car and gas companies claim to be trying to find alternative fuels but this guy seems to be doing better on his small business budget.

I guess they need more motivation?

Whatever they come up with as an alternative fuel, the price will be just as bad in the long term as gasoline is now...

Exactly. I can't find the literature now but there are multiple publications that suggest around 500-1000 years with information to back it up...

They are coming out with all these "green cars" that are fuel efficient when by the looks of it they could just build a hybrid like this guy did. I just don't see how they haven't already done it considering their budget and his.
I for one wouldn't mind going for more than 4 days without refueling.

According to that video he got 100 miles to 2 pints of water. I wonder how much gas he used.... I think he said pints.
