Dart Rookie Author Massachusetts Posts:34 Points:430,290 Joined:Nov 2002	Message Posted: Nov 6, 2007 9:32:09 AM Ignore Dart Report Abuse I think I answered "hydrogen fuel cells" a while back, but I'm changing my answer to hybrid technology. Not Prius/Saturn Green Line/etc.-style hybrids, but Chevy Volt-style hybrids. "Common" hybrids such as the Prius won't "compete" with gasoline, but will supplement it. The Volt is essentially an electric car with a gas-powered generator as a backup, and I think vehicles using similar systems will actually "compete" with gasoline much sooner than hydrogen fuel cells.

RochBear Champion Author Minnesota Posts:10,472 Points:1,743,665 Joined:May 2006	Message Posted: Aug 16, 2007 11:25:32 AM Ignore RochBear Report Abuse I would hope diesel would, since that technology is already here, and that would double the miles per gallon, without changing anything else. And then if we used Bio-diesel, that would be all the better. I already have a diesel, and will never go back to gas. (I can out tow anything gas powered, and I get twice the milage. More power, less fuel - Sounds like a win/win) However, I think hybreds are what people will choose instead.
