Bettah!
When you get tired of the status quo with gas prices and dependence on foreign oil, there's a better way.The technology exists today to combine 50-mile range electric vehicles with small, efficient gas engines to create hybrid cars that get over 100 miles on the road from a gallon of gas. That means if gas is $3 and you have a 30 MPG car that has a plug-in hybrid option, the hybrid option will cut your gasoline charge to less than a third of what you were paying before. And not only your bill gets cut, but so do emissions and our dependence on places like Iran and Saudi Arabia.

Some entrepreneurial folks have actually converted several Priuses into plug-ins. It involved replacing the existing battery pack with a higher capacity array and making some mods to the onboard electronics. You can read about the project at the CalCars site.
I remember reading an article when the VW Beetle was re-released, comparing it to it's progenitor. The difference in the price tags (inflation-adjusted) was largely accounted for by the government-mandated standards and features. Our little Honda (best car we ever had) had neither airbags nor crumple-zones. Isn't there a way we can have it all—safety and efficiency?
