I just don't see the benefits of electric or hybrids at this time. They
are not cost effective to the consumer and they are not eco-friendly.

what gets me is I have owned several cars back in the 70-80s that got
the same mileage as we struggle for now...

My 69 Corvette would get 22-23 if you could keep those Quadrajet
secondaries closed. Open them up and it would go ~140 MPH (at a whole
lot less MPG)

Shoot, my '52 Studebaker got up around 30mpg. Of course it didn't do
much better for oil. But, that re-refined oil (what the hell was it
called?) could be had for about 10cents a quart.
