So dividing it out, that's approx 26.42 miles/liter, or approx 42.5 km/L. Not bad really. @Andreas; well, a US gallon is 3.785L.

It'll be interesting to see consumers' appetite for these high end vehicles. Certainly lots of initial interest, but is it going to be sustainable.

I see many people in the near future becoming more sensitive to rising gasoline prices (especially in light of the possibility of a recession) so Coskata and its investors are poised to strike it rich. This is also an important change from using corn/food stuffs to make fuel. Using food for machine fuel could have long-lasting and very detrimental effects in the not-so-distant future. I linked to your post from my blog at the Innovators-Network. I hope some of my reader visit VentureBeat and read your piece. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Anthony Kuhn Chris:
