That was humming along nicely two summers ago...and it all but died when gas dropped...

As far as the impact on me? I still want a Camaro...so I'll just need to budget for the gasoline to feed it. I don't plan on complaining though...I believe in the innovation it will create.
I am just not seeing the logic, this all seems to be about perceptions/marketing and not facts (I could be wrong but I don't think so).

Classic example the Toyota Prius Marketed on Tv with freaking polar bears hugging pruis owners in commercials as if the car is even remotely eviornmentaly friendly. People totaly ignore how the Prius is made and the fact that it does more damage to the enviornment before it leaves the showroom floor than a Tahoe driven like 500,000 miles. Lets say if Cars go electric, don't most electric plants use fossel fuels to produce electricity? It all seems like a giant "reshuffle" of fuel sorces and have people believe that "Hey If we don't see us using fuel to drive our cars that must mean we are useing less of it." Which would be totally bogus.
