I already own a car which gets over 100 miles per gallon. It has old fashioned Nickel Metal Hydride batteries in it. Exactly 120 6,000 MAH D cells to be precise. I am very much interested in changing the stack to newer NiMH batteries which would either give stronger acceleration or better mileage. The car is a 2000 Honda Insight. The best gas mileage has been 114 MPG on a two way run of 60 miles. That included starting and turning around. Obviously it would do better with someone who did not add 10% to the weight of the vehicle. I must confess that the drive was at low speeds, without stops or without traffic which would cause the speed to vary. Nothing like aluminum, and poly carbonate to increase mileage! Jacq
