The CBS news article below reveals a major breakthrough in car engine design. This car engine gets over 50 mpg, goes from zero to 60 in four seconds, and runs on soybean oil! So why isn't this remarkable breakthrough making front page headlines in all major media? For the same reason that many other major energy breakthroughs have been reported but never given the headlines they deserve. Those who are reaping huge profits from oil sales have much more political and media influence than you might imagine.

Under the short, but revealing CBS article below, I've included links to several other major energy breakthroughs reported in the mainstream media which should be getting major attention. I invite you to explore these fascinating articles to see if these aren't legitimate inventions that should transform car engines and energy production. You can make a difference now by playing the role at which the media is so sadly failing. Spread the news on these amazing breakthroughs far and wide. Together, we can and will build a brighter future.

Kids Build Soybean-Fueled Car

The star at last week's Philadelphia Auto Show wasn't a sports car or an economy car. It was a sports-economy car — one that combines performance and practicality under one hood.

But as CBS News correspondent Steve Hartman reports in this week's Assignment America, the car that buyers have been waiting decades [for] comes from an unexpected source and runs on soybean bio-diesel fuel to boot.

A car that can go from zero to 60 in four seconds and get more than 50 miles to the gallon would be enough to pique any driver's interest. So who do we have to thank for it. Ford? GM? Toyota? No — just Victor, David, Cheeseborough, Bruce, and Kosi, five kids from the auto shop program at West Philadelphia High School.

The five kids, along with a handful of schoolmates, built the soybean-fueled car as an after-school project. It took them more than a year — rummaging for parts, configuring wires and learning as they went. As teacher Simon Hauger notes, these kids weren't exactly the cream of the academic crop

This "NEW" story, and thousands of it's illegitimate cousins, has been around for 50 years, and, is just as much bullshit now as it was then.

These myths of the 300 mpg carburetor being taken off the market by Standard Oil, perpetual motion gyroscopes, and all the other voodoo crap appeal to people that don't understand proven physics, yet these same folks place great faith in UFOs, spoon bending magicians, pyramid power, spirits from the past, and crystals.

It is nothing other than a very sad example of just how uneducated and superstitious the population is.

So, I guess the Dodge Ram our Sacramento area Geologist drives that gets 27 mpg (now, in a fullsize) on soon to be variable diesel to waste grease or SVO is a fantasy too?

Dude, 50mpg is nothing for an oil burner on the smaller size range, the Passat gets over 40, and me and my grandfather got 93 on a non stop roadtrip with the cruise on 60 mph in his Rabbit back around 1982...

You obviousaly didn't read the article very critically, nor did you understand what I was saying in my post.

The breathless conclusion of the "NEWS" was about a car that got 50+ mpg and was able to accelerate from zero mph to 60mph in 4 seconds.

Here is a sample of cars that accelerate at that rate. According to Car and Driver Magazine road tests. 1) Corvette Z51 4.1 seconds 2) Dodge Viper SRT10 3.8 seconds 3) Ferrari F430 4.1 seconds 4) Porsche 911 Turbo 4.0 seconds

Let me give you some hints. 1) None of these automobiles get 50+ mpg. 2) None of these automobiles are diesels. 3) None of these automobiles are affordable.

The simple facts are that you can have an automobile that gets 50+mpg, and, you can have an automoile that accelerates from 0 to 60mph in 4 seconds. But in order to have that you will need to have 2 very different different automobiles.

As far as you and your grandfather getting 93 mpg, I can only assume you were either decending from Mt. Everest, or your calculator's battery went dead.

There's plenty of things that get good mileage but suck when you mash the gas, my former 70 1/2 RS Camaro and 84 Trans AM for a couple. BTW, you could package a diesel to do those 0-60 times, the horsepower to weight ratio and the gearing is 95% of the issue...

As for the 93 comment. I filled the car to the absolute brim, and did the same at trip end and am fairly fluent on what passed for math back then. Whether or not you want to believe it piques my ire not one bit...
