Agreed. I think, though, that no matter how you slice it, every little bit counts. Meaning we need people to invest in these upper echelon fuel saving vehicles (Chevy Volts, Priuses, etc.) so we move the market in that direction. If we do not demand it, they will stop supplying it. Or stop trying to supply it in innovative, nichey ways. I still see a lot of people driving big big cars. While I realize that the jump from a 17 mpg to a 22 is more significant than a 22 to a 30, I still think, in terms of momentum, we will get where we need to be environmentally, if we still push for higher standards.

In aviation we express it in mass flow amounts or as a volumetric per hour as in General Aviation (GPH gallons per hour) I don’t know if that would help people in grasping their usage but I would say not. We rode bikes mostly in Germany and trains. Some of us had 100cc motorrads for trips to the lake but who needed to drive to go somewhere fun or cool or get what we needed? Maybe things were simpler for us and the distance was less than here in the US.
BTW I ride an electric bicycle to work with a hub motor. I am planning a carbon fibre recumbent with a hub motor next. Less drag more volts same motor I should be moving pretty good.
