80 Cents Gas with New 150 MPG car?

A company has a car that will get 150 MPG. That means you would only be paying 80 cents for gas and avoiding 5 trip to the gas station. This car also uses a capacitor to supercharge accelleration making it fast than gas engines and saving the battery.

to be perfectly honest, that car has shitty milage for the battery charge. they are doing it the old fashion way of using all at once instead of a new computer controlled way that causes less power drain. also, with it costing $30K, it would be 18 years (at $5 a gallon or 9 years at $10 a gallon) before i break even on the cost of the car, not even mentioning the cost of electricity. also, the batteries on it need to be replaced after 10 years on this thing. no deal, it's too damn expensive.

I'd rather just buy a cheap 80's VW Rabbit and convert it to full electric. It would be very cheap.
