I would venture a guess that if they, in fact, could get that kind of mileage. The Baat technology would get them 20 - 30% more. IMO
If they have had this ability for gas mileage I guess they just kept it under wraps so we can spend more on gas.
gary :)

This is what makes dyno test so crucial......

It puts this kind of doubt and speculation to bed.

But then there is the question of how robust and original are each of the claims that BAAT will make in their patent(s) relating to dolphin techs -- is this just a clever "brew" of existing techniques?

After that is Joe's business hygienics.....

This was a very strange statement. If they could get it, then where is it. And if they can get it why is FORD, according to CBS news,
spending 1/2 of all their R&D money on hybrid. And if they can now get it, why do they want to test BAAT. Seems strange that such earth shattering news only comes on now when they "downplay" the BAAT results. HMMMMMMMM.

Jeff;

You and all of the others need to read the article you referenced more closely.

The interesting thing about BAAT's mileage figures is that they are from an "everyday" car. The engine is a diesel but the car is a regular production car from Ford. The majors certainly have proved high mileage in concept cars. Does anyone know what a concept car cost in engineering and tooling? Tens of millions I believe. Certainly I can not go to Ford or GM and write a check for one; perhaps Bill Gates or Warren Buffett could. I imagine though that once that patent is file dI could take a GEO Metro to BAAT and pay them a not-unreasonable sum to have my car modified, then I could get close to 100 mpg. That is what people find exciting about this care.

Please, use the correct basis for comparing BAAT to the major auto manufacturers. AN example: I know that the computer operating in the space shuttle cost around 12 million dollars. The new 166MMX I just bought cost me $499. Would I be logically correct in making any comparision at all between the two computers? Comparing scientific custom built technology with production technology is misleading and confuses the issue; it does not provide any insight or new knowledge.
