I'm been a Volvo owner for years; but I love that Mustang Bullitt!
That's a rip-off of an earlier Blade story.

110 mpg, plus 0-60 in three seconds and a top speed of about 180 m.p.h.?

Mmmm...nuh-uh.
why would Rocket Ventures, a largely publicly funded venture capital firm, invest in this if the technology was completely fraudulent.

i mean this investment is why the story is even relevant to us
How 'bout 235 mpg?
Still doesn't make sense that a v-8 with 400hp and 500 foot pounds on a car that probably weighs around 3,500 pounds would get 80mpg and one that weighs about 1/6th of that and has only 1 cyclinder, 1/2 the coefficient of drag and a whopping 8 hp can muster only 235 mpg. Does the guy get out and push it to get more mileage?
