...automaker's first electric, the Nissan Leaf, was launched last month and is touted as the world's first affordable ZE. No price has been announced (the Leaf is still 14 months away from being available), but it's estimated to come in under $30,000. It seats five adults, goes 100 miles on a charge with V6 performance, offers advanced electronics and will reach 90 m.p.h. Nissan says it will produce 50,000 electric cars globally by 2010, and it's scaling up plants. At full capacity, its Tennessee plant will produce 150,000 ZE vehicles...
...these prospective applicants will be convinced that Harvard really is a place for the privileged alone. But all things considered, it seems highly unlikely that the Harvard Yard clothing line will do anything to discourage applications. Harvard licenses its name to a wide variety of products across many different price ranges—and unlike the readily affordable fleeces and T-shirts that are peddled at the Coop, the new Harvard Yard line won’t even bear Harvard’s insignia. Nor is this the first time Harvard has sold its naming rights to clothing companies...
...course, it will be a long time before the iPhone is commonplace in China. The typical phone here is a $100 Nokia. China Unicom hasn't named its price for the iPhone 3G and 3GS models that it plans to bring to the market this fall, but with a gray-market 3G iPhone now going for about $575 in China, the device will be far beyond the means of the average Chinese phone buyer.

Finally, under President Ahmadinejad, a rationing program began in the summer of 2007. Every Iranian with a registered motor vehicle received a smart card that could be used at any pumping station. Up to 100 liters (26 gallons) a month could be bought at a still subsidized price of about 38 cents a gallon. After the 100 liters is up, drivers can pay a fixed price of about $1.50 a gallon for any additional gasoline, known as the "open price." (For comparison, U.S. gasoline prices averaged $2.63 per gallon at the end of August...
Many Iranians were not happy with the new limits and prices, naturally, and several gas stations were torched in the initial days of the program. Today, fewer complaints are heard, but Iranians still use more gas than they can refine inside the country. Iran's domestic production of gasoline over the past year averaged 45 million liters a day, yet consumption has averaged 67 million liters a day, even after the rationing program was implemented. New proposals are being discussed in Iran's parliament to further limit the rationed amount, and would gain extra heft if any serious moves...
