    What about burning on gas for more power/torque? Just like in daily-driving life, you don't always need all that power. Kind-of like cute-offs in some Daimler-Chrysler V8 engines, where they can run on only 4-cylinders.

    Hydrogen powered engines are slowly being developed. It seams like hybrids popped out of nowhere.

    i didnt know they did that, interesting piece of info. i read that on the chevvy (??) 16 that you could shut down cylinders to run on just 6 at times and then open up the other 10 at an opportune moment
