Unlike the old days, there are very few cars that could be described as a gas guzzler. Had a Cadillac Sedan DeVille with 500 cubic inch V8 which got 8 miles a gallon. 1969 VW Bug got 20 MPG, with no AC and a manual tranny. Now have VW Passat (can seat 4 comfortably) with all of the creature comforts and it gets 34 MPG on the highway.
Most people have SUV's. Wifes fully loaded Acura MDX gets 23 MPG and can transport 4 adults and 2 very small children.
Do beleive that there will be increased demand for hybrids. Would not go with electric only, until there is proper infrastructure to re charge batteries.
