Agreed. The market will demand all different sizes and function of vehicles. However, the key goal is to increase average mpg across this fleet. If we can double avg fleet mpg from 25 to 50, then we will have gone a long way to oil independence. If we can increase that to 75, then we will be oil independent. That is a worth goal and completely doable with today's technology. The VOLT will be a 150 mpg vehicle capable of a range of 400 miles on a full tank (6-7 gallons). Imagine all vehicles on the road being range extended hybrids like the Volt, capable of going the first 40 miles on electricity only.
