Sounds like a politician's logic. Someone else will figure it out. This is a pipe dream, please explain to me what new technology has been introduced in the past 10 years. DI has been around for almost 100 years. Turbochargers even longer. Cylinder deactivation is nothing new either. Gains in efficiency come from incremental changes in existing technology, improved materials, and use of exotic and more expensive materials. Aluminum will never be as cheap as steel, and carbon fiber and other high end materials are, and always will be exponentially more expensive than materials in use today. Increased efficiency can be achieved, but you can bet your ass you will pay for it.
