Isn't that Skycar thing using Methanol now, either that or Ethanol because one was a health hazard.
I'd say the bicycle is very energy efficient but the source of that energy is a bio-reactor - the human gut! I've read recently that scientists have made a lawn mower that is powered by the very clippings it cuts (wit the use of a bacteria engine).
There are companies now producing magnetic bearings too, ones that don't need balls but just levitate around the central ring with powerful magnets. Maybe this is going to increase car efficiency in the next decade.
Personally, I like the look of that 4,000 GBP hydrogen fuel cell motorbike they unveiled in London last year. 100 miles on a single charge, top speed of 50MPH and completely emission free & silent.
