Maybe I'm voting from a place with a little bit of subjectivity, but I think we're going to see the gasoline engine around for quite a while still. Just look at the infrastructure built up around delivering fuel - I don't get the feeling we're on the cusp of that going away. It's certainly changing - I think we can expect the trend from auto manufacturers to continue where we see the ongoing proliferation of hybrid vehicles, small displacement turbocharged platforms, etc. I'm hopeful that in the midst of all that the niche market for gratuitous big displacement HP junkie stuff doesn't fad away completely. If the big three from Detroit keep at least 1 or 2 thumping V8s around for the next century I'll be a happy man indeed.
