...that you're driving a hybrid? Your theory is that the technology would not have been developed until the last gallon of gas is gone. Take the time to see what oil companies ARE doing. Shell produces a gasoline substitute distilled from coal, that burns as clean as conventional gasoline. Chevron is one of the leading companies in fixed plant solar-driven fuel cells. BP has an entire division, spending hunbdreds of millions on researching alternative fuels, such as biodiesel. Oil companies are not run by idiots. They understand that as global supply of petroleum falls further and further behind demand, they have to come up with alternative products or go extinct.
