Bringing it back to fuel....

Mandating a mixture of gas and propane powered hybrid vehicles would double
gas mileage and cut emissions.  It would also lead to development of electric
motors, which would, in turn lead to a more modular car that could spur the
development of smaller personal vehicles.  They would complement scooters,
bicycles, and motorbikes.
