until a few years ago there was no incentive for manufacturers to make cars with high mils per gallon and that can be seen with all the SUVs that were made.
everyone thought that oil would last forever and no one cared about the issue cause gasoline was a 1.50 a gallon so they made them big and with powerful engines.
governments didn't care because it created jobs which meant happy people who will vote happily for the people in office since everything was sooo fucken good.
now as in the early 80's gas prices are up and the incentives are coming back to make high mileage cars.
as far as Hybrids I think they are bullshit because you will never save enough in gas over the life of the car to make the difference in price between regular engine and a hybrid one.
