4 cylinder gas models and diesels that get every bit as good mileage using an existing infrastructure. The incentives, if there has to be any in the first place, should include all technologies that provide less need for oil based fuels.

As gasoline prices increase above $4 we Americans get very pro active for something to be done. And when it goes back to $2 we go catatonic, fat and happy and satisfied with nothing being accomplished other than a price reduction. Consumption continues and will continue to grow. Just look at what we accomplished in the last forty years...we doubled the amount of foreign oil needed.

Incent the development of the new technology and at the same time exploit the technology we know so well.
