I don't see the gas prices high enough to make a significant impact on the kind of vehicles people are buying. Additionally, one of the main drives people have when choosing a vehicle is marketting. Unlike overseas, where people are more careful when buying a car. I expect the technology to improve. A few manaufacturrers are committed to hibrids, and I am sure, they will continue to invest R&D. Right now, to my choise, hibrid cars are more complex and prompt to become unreliable, in short time. Replacing the circutry and batteries in use, can cost a lot and it is not covered by warrantee.
