  100 MPG Carb

Please take no offense. I grew up reading Smokey Yunick articles in Popular Science and other magazines, and have a heck a lot of respect for the guy, but IMO if he wrote the article you refer to it must have been published in the April edition as a joke. My opinion of hybrids is pretty low too, there is probably no such thing as lossless conversion from one form of energy to another, so they must inherently lose efficiency (and they are needlessly complex to boot). An all-electric car with regenerative braking would trump a gas-electric hybrid but my money would be spent on a small diesel. A VW TDI (or their european gasoline compression-ignition engine) already meet or beat hybrids, with far less complexity.

  100 MPG Carb

I did mention by liking to diesels ,but lets face it ,the manufactures are not going to allow them selves to put out of business with 1,000,000 mile life span cars or cars that get 100 mpg or stainless steel/composite vehicle's that will never rust out. There is no money in it for them, it would kill millions of jobs linked to the already collapsing auto industry from just foreign markets, I guess what comes around goes around, wouldn't MR. Tucker and a few other pioneering people love to see the big 3 demise ..... Pay back is a B_____ . MY feelings only, the only way were are going to see 100 mpg cars is a socialistic move by the government and that will never happen in the USA due to our capitalistic economy. BEWARE when some one calls you COMRADE
