You can get more than 30mpg in your car if you have the amount of money it takes to do any of those things you listed above. (Even a fraction of that money will do) It's the same answer to the question: 'why doesn't every last home have a fiber-optics connection? We have the technology!' I won't disagree that there are many political reasons behind rising prices. Nor will I disagree that more should be done to increase transportation efficiency. But you're barking up the wrong tree(s) and in the wrong forum. Has there ever been a PLUG-OT mailing list?
