Honda Makes an SUV that goes 1300 Miles without refueling

Honda has built and ultraefficient vehicle that goes 1300 miles between fill ups. It carries 6-8 passengers – 8 Japanese and 6, sometimes 5 or 4 Americans.

Of course, there is always a catch.

The vehicle costs $1.5 million and the fuel is 80 cents a mile. Let’s see, that’s about a $1000 for a fill-up.

The vehicle of course is a Hondajet…a super efficient light jet that weighs about the same as an SUV.

And you thought that Honda only made cars, and motorcycles and lawnmowers and…. didn’t you?

Great job, Honda.

What do you think?

    honda makes just about everything. i didn’t know they made jets but it does not suprise me at all. hopefully they can make their cars and trucks closer to that range, although they are still already towards the top of the market.

    I wish I could buy a jet…but then I’d have to wish I could fly it…and then I’d wish I had time to go to school to learn how…and then I’d have to wish for a place to keep it and then and then…

    Still I wish I had a jet.

    Perhaps if it could take off like a helicopter I might be inclined to think about considering a possible thought proccess into maybe looking at… reading an article about one.
