Which brings the off topic on topic again:
Isnt it amazing, how an ancient Newton2100 can run off 4 AAcells or the
built in rechargeable for a week, and a new Compaq iPacs last only a day,
if you are lucky, and this with the newest LithionPolymer battery
technology.
I guess efficiency is the keyword here...
BTW: a six cylinder 3.0 liter Porsche 911 with 250 hp and 260 km/h
topspeed uses less than 10 liters of gasoline per 100 km. And is still one
one the quickest from 100km/h to full stop again.
Especially when you have to use your brakes at full speed, its much easier
to get to a stop if the mass of your car is smaller than 1000kgs...
