The last years of expensive oil have made manufacturers concentrate on electric and hybrid technology a lot more. It's not just a DIY business here in Europe (and I guess other parts of the world) 70% of the manufacturers offer electric vehicles and a much larger percentage offer hybrids at a similar price to the petrol versions after governmental rebates.

Now I am not surprised the petrol guys are backing down. After all, more expensive prices will only work to bring more people into more efficient vehicles
