Therefore they tax and charge the fuck out of it and make more money. It’s actually a very realistic goal, unlike Obama’s call for 1,000,000 electric vehicles on the road by 2015. Considering several SUPERCARS are now using hybrid technology, I’d be surprised to NOT see cars getting easily 55+ mpg by 2025. I really wish the USA embraced diesel more than we have, as that would help get cars w/ better gas mileage as shown by what we have already. I know some companies are experimenting with hybrid diesels which I guess would be the best of both worlds. I don’t know why so many people are against the use of technology, especially those that complain about gas prices and gas mileage. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/54-5-mpgs-by-2025/259691)._
