That could work. I confess, I do like the idea of a car with various enchantments built into it and powered by the exclusive powerstone that is the car.

This. Indeed, Kromm has said as much just a few days ago.

That's going to be awfully limited with your stone recharging no more than 3 pts/day in normal mana.

Well, that depends on what the enchantments are. Create Fuel, Clean (the car itself) and some sort of self-maintenance enchantment would be good choices. They need a considerable amount of energy, but only occasionally.

Calling gasoline a TL6 fuel and using the Ve2 figure of 6lbs per gallon it's going to cost you 720 energy to fill up a 20 gallon tank with Create Fuel. You're going to have to only need to re-fill it every 240 days and that leaves nothing left over for Clean and whatever else.

You might make the trick work with Essential Fuel which is 6x cheaper and lasts 10x longer.

I still think you're trying to us that Powerstone too much.
