Hi,

TRY- It seems like you are intent on blowing your own trumpet all the way here.

I treat your latest statement as I have treated most of what you have written as being just a load of hot air!

If as you and the website authors will have us believe this engine can produce it's power through a bit of jiggery pokey and only use .8 Lt of fuel per hour of any fuel.

How do you compensate for the difference in calorific values between the different fuels on the market?

Will the trunk of the car be able to hold enough Coal/Wood/HFO to complete a 1000 mile journey?

You might do well to read the website yourself. There are claims there that the cars will develop 75 hp and do 96 mph with a economy of 100 mpg.Given your often repeated statement about consumption the math just doesn't add up and it isn't the only thing.

96 ( The quoted speed) divided by .8( the supposed consumption per hour)= 120 x 3.786 ( A US Gal in Litres) = 454.32 mpg ( the supposed economy of this vehicle worked out mathematically with the figures published online)

Quite a difference already, I can't wait to see the reality if it ever gets that far.

TATA have been down this road before as stated above, I will refrain from comment on the US Investment options at this point as I am still waiting to get an answer to my carefully worded application.
