Comments on: Six New Technologies Will Help Manufacturers Reach the 35 MPG Goal (Without Hybrids) http://gas2.org/2008/05/01/six-new-technologies-will-help-manufacturers-reach-the-35-mpg-goal-without-hybrids/ What is the future of fuel? What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.

S. gallon, so that makes our 35 MPG equal to your British 42 MPG. Sorry, old man, but you lose this one. Paz, your english gallon is 20% larger than our U.

If all the vehicle accessories are being switched to electric motors then the obvious choice is to look at improving electrical power storage devices. The claims of Eestor (Texas) company & Zenn motors have to be taken much more seriously now that Lockheed Martin has has licensed their technology. The link above is from MIT having similar claims for this new nano-technology. Worst case scenario it appears to be ready for prime time now as the energy storage device for recovering the energy during braking to provide the burst of energy during stop light & highway acceleration thereby extending the duration of older proven battery technoligies and the vehicles that use them. Couldn't Americans have their cake & eat it too if all big SUV's were required to be hybrids and wouldn't the cost of this technology drop significatly if it were standard equipment on every vehicle that current gets below 20 miles per gallon?

All artificial additive make average Americans much fatter and shorter. According to US health department Americans are much shorter then they were 40 years ego (all the hight fructose corn syrup and diet drinks with Aspartame getting it's toll). As for efficient cars in US.. well we see them next year when oil will be for $200+ and gas for $7.50.

The problem here is the entrenched special interests and the car companies insist that consumers want POWER POWER POWER AND MORE POWER! Listening to the car ads touting 7 liter V8 pickups and hot rods, it's just disgusting. Although I'm thinking this summer's surge in oil prices here may finally be the beginning of the end of the big truck and SUV craze. About time.
