100 mpg car?

http://www.popularmechanics.com/auto...o/3374271.html

I was wondering if you have any comments on this article? Much of it is very close to being true. I hate this statement.

{There's no business case for it," says GM's Juechter. "How many people would spend $200,000 on a car that would ultimately save them a few thousand dollars on fuel over the life of the car?" That's the worst-case scenario in terms of price estimates, but there's little doubt that a 100-mpg car would cost thousands more than today's bigger, more powerful vehicles. }

After seeing how badly the Geo and every other small car has sold. You have to wonder how small of a minority we are? I drive 20 miles each way on the freeway and see only a couple of people adopting a fuelish mind set for driving. Will they continue if prices go down?

I think the price quote is incorrect and if you check GM's or anyone else who sells all over the world we could have cars that break 50mpg if we could get by all the rules in this country now at an economical price not even hybryd.
