Scary thing is...this type of reasoning goes on FOR REAL and is a HUGE part of the reason why we are in the pickle we are in terms of oil consumption.

If it's possible to make engines that can get 50 miles to the gallon or better (and still use them in your average sedan, not some mini), then why hasn't it happened since in a free market those cars should sell like hotcakes? I thought the free market solved all problems?

It IS happening. The waiting list for a Prius is 2+ months.

 

The problem is that auto/oil are not a free market. They are both heavily influenced by government regulations.
