Oh Look! It Does have a gashole! And according to DLAllen, it ran under it's own power,too. I hope this cures some of this spec-u-lation going on around here.

Now I may not be quite as bright and some of the forward thinking sages regularly here and showing my naivety and ignorance but it seems that running "under it's own power" does not quite equal "a tested and marketable engine capable of safe and efficient road and highway use."

It would 'go a long way' for us to see more about the IAV engine, after all these years, not just moving around "on it's own power" like a big toy.

I see that, after all these years, it may not be a large leap, but I feel that it is a continuing step forward and in the right direction. Others had questioned if it even has a fuel door, and there it was.
I think the engine already has been thoroughly bench tested by IAV, it is marketable, as they have even stated some time back in their initial partnership on the unique design, that this engine could be utilized for many other applications, such as Marine, Stand-by power/ stationary generation, and others. I think one needs to look for these things, not just the Elio blog, or this blog. Maybe back in other sites, like IAV's, or search results on the second or third page, to find information, understanding and enlightenment.
I'm sorry, Watashiwah, I don't want to become a jerk or argue and anger you. I'd much rather we get to a point that we are on the same page. You have been on this blog much longer than I. I just don't understand some of the negativity, doubt, doom and gloom that is so pervasive on these blogs. I went all in relatively late in the game, $1000.00 non-refundable, SIL# 21914, right after the 2017 NAIAS, and it went radio silent soon after. I'm not worried. Right now, the waters are calm and nothing is happening. I'm relying on a next wave to catch and surf. If not, I still had a good day. You have a good day,too. Respects on this Memorial Day.

You have a great attitude. I have looked for information about the IAV engine on lots of sites, but found nothing of substance since the video of it running.
