Talk:Automotive X Prize

message: :Currently, the average mileage of American cars is around 20MPG, this is less than the average mileage of the Ford Model T, 25MPG.
According to the CAFE article, the CAFE calculation produces a figure of 24.6 mpg for 2004.  However, this does not accurately capture alternative fuel vehicles and larger exempt vehicles, though it is unclear that larger vehicles are included in what is meant by "car".  The Ford Model T article says the model T had a fuel efficiency of 13 to 21 mpg.  So the claim above appears to be false.  It also seems to be advocating higher fuel efficiency through selective statistics, ignoring the larger cargo and passenger capacity of modern cars. It's fine for the X Prize folks to be quoted giving statistics (though they should be fact-checked) but not for Wikipedia to be advocating for them. -- Beland 15:47, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I found an MSNBC blog from last summer that lists entrants 'Green' Teams Go for Auto Race, probably based on a list from the official site.  I am going to go through these lists and try to find some 'Missing Links', and put them here.  Anyone else is welcome to help -- just log in, research it, and do it!

message: We should be saying something about these entries. Our goal isn't to simply list items, but to actually say something about each of them. 
Also, secondary references need to be added; the home page of a manufacturer isn't ideal.

thread_title:  Results table anyone? 

message: The name of the "Title sponsor" was added in an undiscussed rename by . It was perfectly acceptable & clear w/o company name, and perhaps more common per example of article web pg and audio story from NPR (even tho they apparently take the sponsor's "ad-free" PR money!). "[T]he official name of the competition" is not what NC specifies. I've renamed it back.--Jerzy•t 01:30, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
