The Quest for Better Gas Mileage


I drive a Toyota Prius hybrid automobile.It gets nearly 50mpg.  Now Chevy is unveiling the Volt, which boasts of 230mpg.  I’m getting this suddenly sinking sensation that I bought my car prematurely…

When I get ready to sell my Prius, will there be no market for it?  Will cars routinely get hundreds of miles on a gallon of gasoline?  Or electricity?  Ethanol?  Hydrogen?
