That's the best part, the mileage is obscenely good. I've been reading up on these machines and there were models averaging 110 mpg. Just let that sink it that there were cars in the 20s' that got 110mpg. The secret seems to be that they had closed combustion systems (zero emissions - complete burning). Plus they had an enormous amount of power!

However the reason they failed was because the amount of work and mechanical skill required of the driver. For the most part you couldn't just get in the car and turn a key then go.
