demand-pull engineering

As a corollary to demand-pull inflation/pricing,should "efficiency" ever take off in the marketplace,seems like "competition" would slowly feed all these improvements into production vehicles,as automakers worked to one-up their competitors,introducing feature after feature,which would ultimately embrace the whole spectrum energy saving tech..
Perhaps it will require a big war; economic,cold,hot.Something with a unifying force.
