I think there are a … I think there are a lot of great technologies we could have if the oil companies didn’t have the politicians in their back pockets. For example: plug-in hybrid technology, diesel (which could also run on veggie oil) electric hybrid, electric cars, and perhaps crossovers between cars and motorcycles. My Corolla is one of the more misery cars in the states, but in Europe would be a big, heavy, guzzler. I can’t afford a hybrid, but really don’t need all the power my car possesses.
what i think car … what i think car companies should make in the future are clean diesel/hydrogen fuel cell hybrids. clean diesels emit about 500 times less sulfur than they did 30-40 years ago, and emit about the same co2 as comparable petrol engines. plus diesel engines have gotten quieter and smoother over the years. some modern diesels can get up to 80mpg in the highway and an electric car can get up to 50 mpg in the city, giving you an average of up to 65 mpg city and highway driving which is awesome
Hydrogen cars are … Hydrogen cars are electric cars. They simply use a hydrogen fuel cell to generate electricity. The fuel cell technology is down the run, but we can have electric cars today. If fuel cells become viable (both with costs and infrastructure) all the electric technology (except for the battery) can be used with a hydrogen car.

I love my Insight. I average 4.2 L per 100 km. That is a far cry better than my Element averaging about 10.5 L per 100 km.
