You are a wise man........green and the development of high mpg vehicles and sustainable transportation is essential and I don't understand how or why anybody can oppose it. I'm betting most vehicles will be leased over owned in the not so distant future. A fixed monthly payment for the vehicle including fuel and maintenance.Green is essential. Electric (or hydrogen fuel) is the only way to get absolutely carbon-emissions free cars. Of course, individually owned and operated cars will be gone in 50 years... not that I'll be around to see that.
