I saw one on eBay, about a month or two ago, that was up in Oregon I think. That one was just about identical (same forest green color and tan leather interior. Let me see if I can bring that picture up, and I'll post it here.

Nlpamg, to answer your question "84mpg!! Wow! How was the power on that thing?" It had enough get up and go for 99% of the time. It uses a 1L 3 cylinder (995cc) with an inline electric 10Kw motor to provide power. It has only 67hp without assist and 73hp with assist. 66/79 ft-lbs torque. However it only weighs 1850lbs and has a drag coefficient of 0.25, the lowest achieved by any mass produced vehicle in the world. It also uses low-rolling resistance tires and a few other gimics such as a lean burn mode where the worst fuel economy you can achieve is 75mpg. I was slightly above average with 84mpg after 80K miles on my 2002 but I have read others who acheive much higher, although I do not know how. More can be read about this car here Insight Central.net
