[GRLUG] OFF TOPIC Electric Car

[Bill_Raterink at spartanstores.com]

So that whole "zeropollutionmotors.us" website is just a hoax?  They're 
just signing up franchisees and intend to run off with the $$$?

Looks like Popular Mechanics bought into it, they ran an article on it. 
And the readers comments go both ways.  Oh well, I suppose it
does sound a little "Too good to be true." 

My neighbor (when I showed him) said Schwinn makes a 2 wheeled version 
that gets 35 feet to the burrito.    ;-)

Are there any numbers (like an ROI) for a device running off of 
electricity, vs. an electric or gas compressor that then runs the car off 
the stored air? 

Don't even dream about it. Compressed air is the most expensive form of 
stored energy. A small manufacturing plant easily spends $10,000 a month 
for air.
