All of this oil company conspiracy theory stuff is getting pretty old. The primary reason that our vehicles are not getting better fuel consuption is due to the consumer. What good is it to own a 50 mpg hybrid when it is overly complicated, difficult to maintain, and expensive to repair. The fact is that every person in the U.S could go out today and buy a motorcycle that gets 50 to 60 mpg. So why don't we? I mean if your only concern is saving the world from the evil oil company why dont you have a bike in your garage? The answer to that question is that consumers dont want to have to relearn the automobile. We have been driving a certain type of vehicle for many years. It isnt easy change. Electric vehicles have horrible ranges. Hybrids are overly complex, and cannot be maintained by the average backyard mechanic. So unless this new tech becomes allot more user friendly, it looks like I'll stick to owning classic cars. 13 mpg or not.
