New approaches to fuel efficiency:

Idea 1: Car with onboard geothermal power generator.

Pros:

Cons:

-Charge anywhere, simply by sinking metal rod toward center of earth

-High upfront cost

-Overuse may result in Earth's

-Works in all weather, and on bottom of ocean

core dying, death of all surface life

-Neighbors will definitely know you

are environmentally conscious

Idea 2: Multistage car.

Pros:

Cons:

-Used up stages can be jettisoned

-Requires expensive radio receiver to communicate with mission control

with little risk of danger to people inside car

-Insurance claim process is cumbersome

-Opportunity to tell police that only

the third stage was speeding, and it's

a small percentage of overall mass

-Can only be used one awesome time

Idea 3: Car with anger-capturing interior.

Pros:

-Harvests energy whenever you

punch the ceiling, dash,

or steering wheel -20 mpg highway, 2,718 mpg city -Increases driver likelihood of

listening to conflicting points of view on talk radio

Cons:

-Negates delightful feeling of hatred toward other drivers

-Cannot yet harvest self-loathing

Idea 4: Car that can only go downhill.

Pros:

-Accelerometer detects angle of vehicle, preventing wasteful

upward or lateral motion

-Will be extremely valuable if Earth discovered to be both flat

and at an incline -Technically uses negative fuel

when employing regenerative braking

Con:

-Is honestly kind of a stupid idea

Idea 5: Car that only technically moves.

Pros:

Cons:

-Technically moving 30 kilometers

-Hard drive to see movies

per second relative to sun

-"Car" will continue moving,

-Due to elliptical movement,

long after you and everyone

vehicle is constantly accelerating

whoever cared for you are dead

-Energy of motion can be

recovered by dropping Earth into sun
