Paul i drive a Hybrid, which if you beleive all the reports does 36 miles to the gallon. "BULL SHIT" its 24 miles at best. When Car companys start to give realistic MPG figures you will see more people buy them but until then no one beleives the hype that is put out. They don't have the insentive to make cars do better milage and they charge thousands more for cars that have fancy new HYBRID names that are little better than standard.

Plus oil pollutes the atmosphere causing global warming, if the price was related to the damage it does it would be a lot more money.
There are many alternative to gas to fuel cars, problem is no one cares if gas is $2 a gallon.
