Ironically, gas prices go down around election time. Big oil[:'(] is (in my opinion) just trying to keep their bedfellows in political office. Also RLSH700 thanks for response to my post and I am lucky to have access to a site where knowledge on cars, the technology the runs it, and history behind them is so well known by people like yourself. (I also liked the MT article but feel it will be implemented either as a last resort by the government or bought up by big oil.) Edmunds had an interesting article about an electric Mini cooper built by a private company that claimed high perfromance and superb fuel economy. You (or anyone else) might want to read it.
