3D Printed Car Goes Transcontinental

Popular Mechanics via Instapundit

they will spend just 10 gallons of fuel to complete the trip from New York to San Francisco.

That's pretty good fuel economy.  The car will weigh just 1200 pounds and be powered by a 7 hp engine and batteries.  Top speed ?  70 mph.  The designer, Jim Kor, thinks he can market it for a price between $16k and $50k.

A car like that could obviate the need to electrify the highways.  However, if you electrify the highways, a car like this could be even more economical.  Just saying.
