I think it's interesting that companies are so focused on adding hybrid and other technologies to cars when someone could simply take the engines we have and make them more efficient (current engines are only 15% efficient - http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/atv.shtml). I know it's easier said than done, but really, with the engineering/technological achievements we have under our belts you'd think someone could get an internal combustion engine to get even 50% efficiency!
