Gas prices are rising, no doubt, so the automotive industry has to come up with a technology thats going to utilize fuel as best as possible. What technology will arrive.
This is the big question thats circulating the automotive industry. Where are we going in terms of fuel saving? Are we going to use fuel cells or hydrogen powered automobiles? Are we going to see more and more hybrids or deisel hybrids? Will turbo charged diesel engines take over the market? Or how about steam powered forced induction (which BMW is developiong)? Or camless engines which will use less power and create more hp...Or maybe simply improving the petrol engines we see today....

What is ahead? Please enlighten us and lets have a very intelligent conversation on this upcoming issue that is soon going to be a problem.
