And if the car company and people really wanted to save on gas, VW sells a diesle in europe that gets 75mpg on a regular diesle engine. The tech is there, but car companies don't think thats what we really want.

The people buying the cars now with the higher prices are kinda investing in this technology. Just like the people that bought some of the first tvs.
