Five ways to cut oil use through hybrids and fuels
Hybrids from Japan lead with battery and gas power delivering high mileage. Toyota plans 1 million hybrids by 2010 while Honda introduced the Insight in 1999 and Ford targets 250,000 hybrids by 2010. Ethanol from corn powers Brazil’s cars and U.S. plants rise to 4 billion gallons yearly with tax credits up to 3000 dollars. Plug in hybrids promise over 100 mpg with 85 percent ethanol blends, while diesel offers up to 70 mpg but remains limited in the U.S. Hydrogen fuel cells face storage and cost hurdles with progress expected years out.
