If such options are available. It was recently reported (don't have link now), that the mileage for a hybrid car was way overstated than what it actually got. Hybrids aren't so great. Further, they have a limited niche, they aren't for the family that needs to transport 4 kids across town multiple times per day. (And surely they aren't for shipping good cross country!)

Heheheh..... You don't much about hybrids do you. Most of the army's Humvee's are actually hybrids.(Of course they also admitted the fact that the hybrid feature was really only used as a electric generator) There are also a few suv hybrids coming out also.

Ehhhh.... Too fast can be disasterous. Japan had to recall their hybrid cars due to the fact that they leaked hyrdogen. I researched the amount of technologies needed to create a suitable fuel cell vehicle. Its amazing. Not to mention the fact that hydrogen cars right at this moment needs platinum to work. We would be moving our dependence on oil to a metal.
