The 70MPG Diesel Mini

I really, really want one of these! I actually don't even care what the performance is like - if it has mileage that high I could drive to Perth and back without refueling.

clipped from jalopnik.com BMW says its new Euro Mini D diesel will see the high side of 72.4 mpg, by way of its efficient oil burner paired with hybrid-like technologies. Those include brake-regeneration, which uses an intelligent alternator controller that detaches the generator draw from the engine on acceleration and uses engine spool-down on deceleration to recharge the battery. It also includes (on manual-transmission cars) a stop-start function that kills and restarts the engine rather than idle in neutral.

About as attractive as a 10 year-old's ideal Lego supercar in the looks department, but good lordie, listen to that exhaust!

It was a long, hot Hummer and I still remember...

I love Hummers, though I couldn't own one myself because I'm so green. In fact, I can't stand the thought of people buying even more Hummers, so the thought of a stretch limo made out of Hummers I think is a good thing if it means that several Hummers have fallen to the oxyacetalene torch in the name of building this behemoth. And let's face it; if you're gonna have a Hummer, you may as well have the biggest one!
