Yes, but you're just proving my point. If Oil companies were really doing what Erin said they were, then they would be paying Toyota not to produce hybrid cars, or buying the patents for hybrid components, or something like that.
I agree with basically everything you had to say about the car companies--and I think that more and more people will buy fuel efficient cars because they want to. If GM and Ford want to remain profitable, they'll have to put more research into it. Its just another good example of how transitions to better technologies will take place on their own, very efficiently and without government mandates.
