Default The race to 100 mpg

Pretty interesting article if you are into the hybrid/future car thang. This is the part that scares me the most.

But these vehicles are all expensive prototypes. The challenge is to make a light, highly aerodynamic vehicle that's reliable, crash-worthy and, most important, inexpensive to mass-produce.
I mean yeah it's all well in good that a few people decide to get a hybrid or small energy saving car but until all the Giagantor SUVs and trucks are off the road we are at risk of getting squashed like a mouse by a elephant.

Should be interesting over the next few years.
