VW's expensive but amazingly fuel efficient car

Laugh at High Gas Prices With a 282-MPG VW | Autopia from Wired.com

This is a stunning car (with an equally stunning price tag). Now, you can zoom with style without worrying about rising fuel costs as this gives an amazing 235 Miles per Gallon that translates to a whopping 99 kms per litre (of course, two wheelers in India are already north of 100 km per litre).

Now for the simple matter of money - the car costs a paltry 20K to 30K Euro (INR 13,53,800 to 20,30,700). The article concludes thus:
"That's a lot of money. But then, the One-Liter, despite its diminutive size, is a lot of car."
There are some great pictures in that link too.

Apparently electric cars are commercially viable but have not been allowed to develop because of the oil industry........
