True. However, how much efficiency can we build into vehicles before we hit a brick wall. I mean, there is only so much more efficeint ways to burn fossil fuels (areodynamics, computers, better lubricants, lighter vehicles, etc.), right? After a while, some of the burden has to fall on the fuel manufacturers. They have to come up with better formulas which would eventually move in the direction of nontraditional fossil fuel mixtures. Right?
