Those are the thoughts I had too when I saw the cover.  I was looking
for something different to read during breakfast on Sunday, and the
cover caught my eye, and I decided to buy it thinking "that's no
possible".  It turns out that Fast Company is actually a good magazine
=)

Anyway, I put a pdf file on my web site, you can download the whole
story from there and check it out.  Yes, I know about the copyright
issues, but I figured this is very interesting and you won't tell on me.
In fact, if you like the article, do buy a copy of this months issue,
there's other good stuff there too.

Enjoy.

scanned the pages as JPGs and printed to a pdf file)

I'd like to see the EPA certified test that demonstrated 60MPG.  Air
friction and rolling resistance alone probably make that impossible.

I haven't been following this thread, so my apologies if this has
already been
mentioned.

Even though it is not just a "simple" fuel-saver, This months
FastCompany
magazine has an article on a guy who has a Hummer with 800HP and does
60mpg,
running a modified diesel engine with a mixture of diesel/biodiesel and
hydrogen.

I don't have the magazine here so I'll have to paraphrase, "...all of 
the cars I
have modified, were modified with off the shelf parts made and/or used
by the
big car manufactures today, so it is not "impossible" as they say, they
just
don't want to do it..."

If anyone of you is interested in having your car modified, the price
tag is
around US $28,0000, which includes the brand new diesel engine.
