1 Billion dollars to the first person to build a 100 mpg car.

Not with my money Huckabee. Free Market dictates this will happen faster than you think, and without the billion dollar bonus.

You Know What's Really Great?
It's in the market now. Electric cars. The problem is it can only run 120 miles at one charge and runs at top speed of at least 70 MPH. If you are only going to the mall, work, take the kids to school, soccer game, etc. this should be good enough. If it can be developed further to run coast to coast at a single charge with solar panel roof to maintain battery charge efficiently, the oil magnates can keep their stinking, polluting oil.

French Inventer
I saw example of several different cars here, even Tesla(look into him) and Stanly Myer(Look into him) but I think I'll talk about Guy Negre a French inventor who developed the MDI air car that runs on compressed air and can reach speeds equal to regular cars and has no MPG as we know them because it runs on air but a hybrid gas or biofuel/air model can get 600MPG from one figure I've seen. Check out this car.

Just saw one on TV
150 miles per gallon. Huckabee is a dumb hillbilly.
yes he is ...BUT
I have personally tuned customers VW (on the side, not at the dealership) TDI's (diesels) to get 100+ mpg....with NO performance loss,actually around 70 mpg there is a seat of the pants gain ...I imagine with a lil more tweaking 150 would be possible as the engines are now but with that performance would decrease. With better (atomization) injectors power would stay level.

Who Killed the Electric Car?
Big Oil companies will not allow for this as they will loose too much money, they pay off Govt officials to keep oil independence from happening..:( But we all know this..
Here is a good video for those that are interested, it shows clearly how Big oil Co's and Govnt work together..

But with RP in office, energy independence will happen much faster than people think..;)

Maybe he can use this in his forum tommorow

Give me Liberty or Give me death
Well send them a check we already have a winner!
This car already gets 136 mpg
http://www.aptera.com
And Honda has a production car they have had since 2004 that gets 92 mpg but they won't sell it here. There is a version they are selling in the UK however they have it computer controlled to get around 52mpg.

300 miles per gallon will start this year heres the link

How stupid
There is already a huge monetary incentive for doing that in the market. So now we know Huckabee is into central economic planning (socialism).

been done
a long time ago ... many times many ways. As a master technician and car/engine nut I can tell you alternate fuel and High mpg cars have been around WAY before hybrids. Why don't you see them .... theres no money in it.
things to google ....
water car
compressed air car
browns gas
high efficiency rotary
Stirling engine
Stan Meyer
the Yahoo article of the researcher who just about 6 mo ago ....found a way to "burn" water
of course there is always the mythical 100/200 mpg carbeurator.... myth or just suppressed? I personally had a 72 Monte Carlo with a 406 stroker that got 40mpg ...of course I re-jetted the carb along with some other things ( =P ) . 25% loss in power made it drive like the 350 it started out as.
LOL.... this whole subject is an entirely different rabbit whole ... funny how it is intertwined with this election ....... i never would a' thunk it ...

Where is this in the Constitution?
All these guys were talking about the Constitution tonight and then Huckabee comes up with this thing about a billion dollar government prize.
Giuliani then says he wants a new big government program for energy independence. How about letting the free market take care of it?
lazy, uninformed huckabee.
what about those brown's gas generator cars?
they run hundreds of miles per gallon
but i guess mike doesn't count them, because they run on WATER!
http://youtube.com/watch?v=vKM4pb9Oxrg
brown?
huckabee's idea was ridiculously stupid, but so is the brown gas idea. repeat after me: brown gas is a hoax. look for real energy alternatives, dont propose investment scams from scammy scammers.
Good video
I noticed that it takes electricity to turn the h20 into HHO, but they never mentioned how much.
yes
youll notice your car is not running brown gas, right? because it doesnt work. of course it takes more energy to make hydrogen than you can get back out of it. its called electrolysis and brown gas is just a mixture of hydrogen with a few other gasses blended in. Ive studied this stuff my whole life - this man (and the hundreds of others just like him) are scams.
educate yourself on the fundamentals of energy - http://www.tinaja.com/glib/energfun.pdf
and dont be a sucker

not a hoax ....
not funded .... BIG difference .... why must it be done through electrolysis...
the right resonate frequency will split water... a simple piezeo electric device to produce the frequency. Care to fund the research? Maybe ask Exxon to fund it. LOL... and THAT is why its not all around us.
p.s. my lawnmower runs on water

I think it's a great idea...
as long as it's not tax payer money. If everyone in America donated $4 we'd have the cash together.

Stupid, Stupid,STUPID ANSWER
There are already cars in Europe and Asia that get over 100mpg using Hybrid technology. What about electric cars? Stanley Meyers produced a car that ran off of tap water before his mysterious death after having lunch with NATO officials. What planet dose this guy live on. Obviously not very familiar with technology.
there's already a prize for this
there's already an x-prize for a 100 mpg car:
http://www.xprize.org
ps. i just contacted the head of the x-prize (my fraternity brother from MIT) to see what he thinks about the government getting into his turf
We have a winner
Well almost. This guy gets 95 mpg. http://forum.ecomodder.com/showthread.php?t=290
If gas was really too expensive I think we would see more cars like this.
uninformed idiots who want us to be uninformed
They arleady exist. We just need to get them here.
