Zero Pollution Motors says they will be bringing a car to the US, by 2010, that will achieve 106 mpgs. Using an idea developed by an F1 race car engineer, the six piston Air Car will use comressed air instead of gasoline combustion.
While driving slowly, it will run completely by air from the tank, and have zero emissions. When speeds get higher, it will use some gasoline to heat the air, causing more pressure to get that higher speed. With 8 gallons of gas, the air car should be able to go 848 miles.
The body is made of foam and fiberglass. With the light weight, it will be able to reach a top speed of 96 mph, at about 75 hp.

With the current financial crisis going on in the United States, many people need cash. They must decide what they can sell to raise cash to cover their car payments and mortgage. Usually one of the first things people decide to sell are boats. Right now, your local boat broker has an excess supply of boats, which is driving down the boat prices. The boating season is also over here in Illinois so now is the time to buy!
I have good credit and enough cash for a down payment on the boat of my dreams, so I have been researching different ways that I can get boat financing. I ran into this article about good credit boat loans. Depending on the total cost of the boat I buy, I can get a rate as low as 5.99%.
The reasons I am buying a boat at this time comes down to simple economics
1. Low interest rates
2. Over supply of new and used boats
3. Low demand for new and used boats
High gas prices are also contributing to less boat usage by many people. Instead of the boats just sitting at the marinas collecting dust, people are selling their boats. Now is the perfect time for you to buy a boat if you can afford it.
