I think we are already seeing this starting to become reality now. It appears, to me, that if things continue on today's path, that we could have a market of a lot of fairly inexpensive lightweight small gas powered engine cars that get CLOSE to the mileage of some much more expensive hybrids. In the end the market will have to shake things up.
