Even though the engine will cost more than a combustion engine, the net cost works out to an equivalent of about 45 cents per gallon.
Expected to be out in 2008 and ideal for SUV market.

Well, it's still rumors from what I read. There has been a lot of buzz about the company since it filed its patent for the technology for its ultracapacitor technology. The company has really tried to avoid the spotlight thus far though, and everyone is eagerly waiting to see if they can live up to the claims filed in their patents when Feel Good Cars releases a 2008 model car that is meant to implement its technology. If it lives up to the claims, and the rumors it may prove to be one of the greatest technological breakthroughs in recent times, and it will certainly deliver a close to knockout blow to the complete control petrol fueled cars have on the market. But again, there is also alot of skeptisicm that the product you are talking about can live up to expectations, it seems almost too good to be true, and although a lot of big names and investors are behind the company noone is ready to believe it yet. I read also that Tesla motors is hoping it can move to some sort of ultracapcitor system in its future cars also.
