I don't think that this will pass until bio diesel is used. Price of crude oil is supposed to tripple this year, making a barrel over $150 a barrel. This will mean that gasoline will be around $6 a gallon!!! Since at $2 a gallon we are paying $50 for a barrel of crude oil, so when that price tripples, so will diesel and gas prices, as you all can already see, the prices are on the rise. I think that the next fuel will be SVO (Straight vegetable oil) or waste frying oil in diesels. Hydrogen fuel cells will be too hard right now to get fueling stations so widely spread, and the only other option is petroleum fuel cells, which won't help much. Major auto makers have all made a diesel hybrid that was a medium sized car that could get 70-80 mpg, but the government won't let them produce these hybrids because the diesel burns too dirty, but that may change next year with the low sulfer diesel regulations. Thats just what I have found from looking it up about a week ago. Let me know if you all know anymore.
