Pastortom, Welcome to the forum where you will find the latest information on the development and production of the Elio. Using the search function will enable you to quickly find the answers to most of your questions. Since the members are friendly and helpful if you can't find an answer, just ask. Hope you find the forum informative, helpful, and rewarding. We are all anxious and excited about the Elio and hope you will be too.

Hi and welcome from Oregon, PASTORTOM. It looks like you live way out in a wilderness area of Idaho. If you use the search engine on this site as well as visit the Elio Motors website, you will find a lot of information to help you realize that even though this is definitely an adventure in the future of vehicle ownership, it is also very real. Take your time. There is a lot to learn but we have at least a year before we will be able to go pick up our Elios. Enjoy the journey. :-) Z

Welcome Pastor to the family, and welcome from Kansas.

You can search on the forum for "84 mpg" for example, see what you find. Here's a brief summary to support the mpg claim: the small front of the Elio, along with the entire shape of it, allows the vehicle to move through the air more easily than other shapes and sizes. The vehicle will weigh 1200+ lbs. The engine is made specifically for this vehicle. For other existing cars, the same engine goes into several different models, so it's good for all. The Elio engine is excellent for one model.

Why don't motorcycles get that high of mpg? Motorcycles are not good aerodynamically. I've been riding a motorcycle for less than a year now, and I know that when I pull in the clutch, I slow down much more quickly than my 2000 Cadillac does if I put it in neutral.

Anyway, I could go on, but you can learn by searching and reading more. Again, welcome!

WELCOME PASTORTOM, to our Elio Family Forum and from the future birth place of the Elio; the Bayou State, Louisiana!

Didn't mention anything about having made your reservation yet. . . . , but hang around this group and follow the threads, and before long, I think you WILL get All-In. :)

Ask questions, everyone will welcome you and answer your questions. :D

Pastortom, My name is Gary #5341 and I pastored and built a church in Weiser Idaho. Last year we moved to Yakima Wa. Good to see your post and welcome to the site.
