The Smart Car is an eco-friendly mini car that is gaining in popularity due to the current price in gasoline. Yet driving something half the size of a standard car has its advantages and disadvantages. Let’s face it, some people just don’t feel right in a mini car. Especially big people! At the risk of looking like a circus clown they usually choose a bigger, more powerful car. As a result they wind up succumbing to the almighty gas pump. If a gasoline powered car didn’t have to sacrifice size and comfort for fuel efficiency it would be more appealing to a wider audience. Revetec may have invented the solution. What if the size of the car remained the same and only the engine was half the size? This would definitely result in an increase in fuel efficiency yet how is it possible. According to sources, Revetec may even plan to market to families by using their mini engines in mini vans. This would give those environmentally active fathers a chance to be green and still drive a mini van. Fitting your kids into a mini car must never be fun or even possible for that matter. Ironically with a half size engine, your fuel economy doubles and as a result your car releases half the harmful emissions. Revetec is an Australian based company. No one knows for sure exactly how long it will take for their working prototypes to become a reality. The fact is their engine works and they have already proven it![1]
