Maybe gas is not expensive enough...

The only thing that matters to the auto companies is money.

That new Hybrid Toyota Prius(45+ mpg) is selling like hot-cakes so expect everyone to jump on the bandwagon.
 
[quote name='PittsburghAfterDark']Consumer gasoline use accounts for 20% of our nations use of oil. The overwhelming majority goes to electrical generation. Then followed by trucking, railroads, airlines and public transportation.[/QUOTE]

CNN did a report this weekend regarding the new energy plan that just made it through congress. According to the report 40% of our oil is consumed by automobiles. I'd be interested in knowing the source of that 20% figure you quoted.

[quote name='camoor']American car companies have been buying up public transit for decades, stripping it out, and building roads.[/QUOTE]

P-p-p-please camoor. Only a toon could dream up a hairball scheme like that.

Oh yeah... nevermind...

*Edit, just realized coffman quoted the same 40% figure I used. Still interested in knowing the source of that 20% figure used by PAD .
