its going to stay like this for one simple reason, they feel no ramifications from their actions. if they fuck over poor people, and we riot, it isn't in beverly hills, its in south LA. if, instead, we brought the fight to their front door you'd see a lot of middle age men brought to tears by fear. frankly, you want this to change, you have to murder people, straight up murder them, across the board.

Good luck with finding out why something that isn't illegal is illegal. That is sort of like finding out why 0 isn't 1.

But you didn't post an article about a 100MPG car being illegal. If you had, then you wouldn't be asking why a 100MPG car is illegal.

This is the Article, and I've highlighted where it's illegal in Illinois.


Brothers Team Up To Create 100-Mile-Per-Gallon Car
Motorists Looking For Fuel-Efficient Options As Gas Prices Surge
Reporting
Dana Kozlov
DU PAGE COUNTY, Ill. (CBS) ― With gas prices seeming to go up every single day, some people are more determined than ever to find different, more cost effective ways to get around.

As CBS 2's Dana Kozlov reports, the Ewert brothers have a rather advanced science project. But instead of a typical dry ice experiment, Chris and Andrew used batteries and a charger to make their hybrid Toyota Prius get 100 miles per gallon.

"My brother and I built this, and car companies should be able to do it, too," Chris Ewert, an electric vehicle enthusiast, said.

The car is the Wheaton brothers' way of lessening the dependence on oil and helping the environment.

It's something the DuPage County Forest Preserve has been focused on for close to a decade.

"Oh, we're making a significant difference in the environment," said the district's John Walton.

The district has hybrids and vehicles that run on four different types of alternative fuels, including natural gas.

"It burns at less than 10 percent of the pollutants of gasoline, and for the mile per gallon dollars, it's costing us about a dollar a gallon," Walton said.

If you want to forget about fuel sources altogether, you can go electric. Small electric cars get 40 miles per charge, costing three cents a mile, and are meant for local neighborhood use.

"With the gas prices going up and with the green movement, it's really unbelievable the number of cars we're selling today," said Dan Mack of the Electric Avenue Auto Mall.

The hitch is the vehicles are not legal in Illinois.

That's frustrating, considering Mack, Walton and the Ewerts are convinced gas is not the way of the future.

"There is no gas shortage today; there will be in the very near future," Walton said. "We are not going to have gasoline the way we have it.


What is illegal about adding a Battery, and a Charger,,,,or is it the hybrid Toyota Prius ?

The information is not in context. There is no explanation of the statement "but instead of a typical dry ice experiment" then goes on to say they just added a battery and charger.

It is impossible to make sense of the statements without the connection between those sentences. Where does dry ice enter the equation?

There also is no data regarding the reason the cars as modified are illegal in Illinois.

The hitch is the tiny neighborhood electric vehicles are not legal in Illinois.

That part of the data was not included. Ifone goes to the web site you will see a tinny little car that would not be legal on any highway in America. It does not comply with the safety regulations.

Thanks R/8. That makes sense then. It's the Car itself that's not Legal, rather than the Modifications.

Take care.

C02 is a dangerous material. It is a solid at -60 Deg. F and when it goes to a gas it expands and becomes explosive, if contained. I would assume that it need to be contained to be useful. It is also dangerous to handle without gloves. In an accident, if the C02 tank ruptured it would explode, but not, in itself, burn.
These small vehicles probably have poor crash resistance as a result of minimized weight.

Imust retract my original asessment.My reason isI did not go farenough on the site for the link. click the link, then clickthe picture of the little car. In the vedio the little car is not the one the brother smodified. The correct car is in the vedio also.

Idonot think what they did would , or should have made it illegal in any state. It appears to be a normal Honda with batteries and charger added.

Ithinkit gusthasnot been tested to point and must gothrough that process before it could be classed as legal. You know, red tape and lobbying against is probably somewhere in the mix.
