Great, except our gas usage has little to do with the technology and everything to do with the economy and world events. I'm not saying that the technology should be stagnant, not at all, but so far it has not had any impact on how much gas we need overall. We traded whatever fuel economy gains we had for bigger and heavier vehicles with more creature comforts. In the end we use more, not less.
