@@MossMini with all due respect I live in south Florida I can travel down the 75 and there are diesel stations at every exit. There are Tesla charging stations but you must wait for your car to charge. This car as it stands will take you 500 miles on one tank. I’ll say this unless Elon musk or the Tesla owners chip in to put charging stations everywhere you are gonna have trouble convincing the average American to pay more on taxes to build the infrastructure for the cars to work seamlessly. I also don’t understand the idea of making putting charger underneath the highways( so the cars can charge while driving) and the cars become self driving because that just sounds like a train to me. It just seems like a lot of work to completely build This new way of transportation, then upgrading the current. I’m not being argumentative I’m just saying what I think. If I’m wrong tell me. I should also say the idea of mining for oil comparative to lithium mines both is digging into the ground to get minerals to run the vehicles. Also used electric cars are the hardest vehicles to sell. Selling new Teslas sure but I already know that any used electric car is almost impossible to sell.

Very happy to see the omega back on the road.

In 1989 Audi drove in the Audi 100 C3 with the 2.5 TDI engine on one fuel tank almost 3000 miles far. The range back then was 138 mp/g. They only achieved that with a bunch of fuel saving measures, like turning off all unnecessary electrical devices, running tires with very high pressures, never exceeding 37mp/h and removing the side mirrors to reduce drag. It's a pretty big car though, which is shaped like a brick and had two passengers on board (The driver and an independent observer from the German Automobile Club ADAC) I believe that manufacturers could build a very fuel efficient combustion engine, if they really wanted to, but for some reason they don't really want to.

Exiting to see this

I could believe it. 👍🏻 Next you need to also put your engine in a more practical body style. Years ago I did some mods on a ‘92 Buick Roadmaster with a 350V8, and I averaged 25 around town and 30 on the highway. And this was a big boat of a car , running the AC.

I would love to see experimental Speed of Air pistons in this thing.

GO OMEGA CAR!!! GO!!! [Happy vroom vroom noises]

Considering the diesel emissions are not that much different than campfire ash, this thing should run forever with no emissions equipment and no countless plastic jugs of cow pee 🥴
