Anytime deer/car encounter the worst, my "collision" (upstate NY) A Buck ran into the side passenger door as I was doing 65,
Weird crash pattern, and by the time I pulled over he was gone

At 300 mph, it'd still take you an hour and a half to traverse.
Love being in Denver to see the family, loath that part of the drive. Not to get too far off topic [oops! too late!]. I went through at night on purpose since it not really a 'scenic' drive. Scary! ZERO lights on the highway, and on a moonless night, you can't see past your headlights. Kept waiting for a herd of cattle to appear before me. Didn't happen, but I did send a skunk to the great beyond.
What I was getting at is the site said those engines consume 1.09 lb/lbf/hr (max) and produce 292 lbs. of thrust. So that's 1.5 gal. of jp1/min (for two) to produce a continuous 584 lbs. of thrust! If you did that for 2 1/2 minutes, you would be going really, really fast. Tyre shredding, bearing destroying, pants wetting, find-out-if-the-Elio-body-design-generates-lift fast.
If you wanted to do it for 300 miles, you would need more fuel - and bigger stones than mine! I get nervous after a few minutes above 150. Hell, these days, I get nervous after a few minutes over 100!

That road looked like the designer looked at the map and figured the fastest way to go from point A to point B; laid a ruler on it, drew a line and called it good; kind of like I-90 across South Dakota <412 miles>

You ever think about drinking Decaf?
Actually, I drink coffee that has extra caffeine. haha
I live in Texas. 7 1/2 hours is considered a short trip.
