I won't say much more because I know my opinions aren't going to be too popular on this subject. Progress is a good thing though. If you can get comparable power and use less fuel, is this not a good thing? Even Ferrari plans to add a FI V6 to its lineup.

As more fuel efficient, full electric, and hybrid electric vehicles hit the roads, and also once natural gas takes off this should help to greatly reduce gasoline use.
I don't feel that hybrids or electric cars are the answer, but we have enough natural gas on hand to last us well over a lifetime (not to mention the money will be going to U.S. based buisnesses) and hopefully by then we'll have a new solution to get over our current addiction to gas and oil.
In a perfect world we'd get a FI 4 cylinder, N/A V6, Turbo V6, and V8 version of the 6th gen Camaro. My how I'd love to have a lighter weight, more nimble Camaro with an LFX n/a V6 crankin out something around 340 to 350 horse.
Would be a very affordable nice performing car....of course if money is no object...you go with the big dog version lol.
