Here's a calculator on hybridcars.com that allows you to compare the gas mileage and emissions levels of non-hybrid vehicles with those of today's electric hybrid models. Open up the calculator in a new window by clicking here. Keep in mind that the Scuderi Air-Hybrid Engine is estimated by third party independent research to double fuel efficiency and reduce emissions levels by 80 percent. (No batteries, either: See below). Read more about "Gas mileage impact calculator "...

A very interesting article in Great Britain's The Engineer Magazine detailing the innovative work on both sides of the Atlantic around the concept of an Air Hybrid Engine. Research is taking place on both sides of the Atlantic into innovative air-hybrid engines that promise to be lighter, cheaper and more environmentally-friendly than existing electric-hybrids. A collaborative project between researchers at Brunel University -which has a patent on the design - and car manufacturers Lotus and Ford is to begin early next year to develop a prototype that could turn a conventional combustion engine into an air compressor.
