Vehicle weight is not correlated with safety:

example of a ~100mpg car: http://www.indiacar.com/index2.asp?page...w.indiacar.com/infobank/ntech_audi.htm
Also the toyota eco spirit three:

It seems that it is no great feat to design a diesel/electric hybrid that would get greater than 100mpg, yet no one is taking them to market yet. What will it take to bring these to dealerships? Why do foreign automakers refrain from making biodiesel and e85 vehicles, while US automakers refrain from making efficient vehicles?
So post your favorite high mpg vehicle here.
