Yeah, you believe everything that sounds like a right-wing conspiracy.
There are technologies called "plug-in hybrids" (or something to that effect) which get tremendous milage, but they aren't good enough for mass production... and they are too expensive and guess what else - electricity in your house has to come from somewhere.

Also - many standard hybrids get tremendous mileage, and if they sold well more companies would make them, but they dont. They are expensive and still not perferred by the American consumer. Do you plan to force everybody to drive a certain car?
Edit:
Chevrolet Silverado Hybrid
Ford Escape Hybrid
GMC Sierra Hybrid
Honda Accord Hybrid
Honda Civic Hybrid
Honda Insight
Lexus RX 400h
Mercury Mariner Hybrid
Toyota Highlander
Toyota Prius
These are all hybrid cars. They get tremendous mileage.
