I am thinking that with the current cost of gas, $4.00/gal in Chicago suburbs, the oil industry would be losing their hold on car production. I might look into an electric car for work. There are a lot of factors to consider since I live in a cold climate and have a 50 mile round trip to work. I think we are all going to have to look into alternative vehicles very soon.
