So you are assuming Big Oil only has influence over the US market then? For some reason Toyota's version of the electric car was pulled off the road at just around the same time as the EV1.
In addition, I think it was the Honda Civic (maybe the Accord?) that got around 57 mpg around 10 years ago, and now get many miles LESS per gallon. It this technology or repression?
