I know of a professor at UCLA that came up with a braking mechanism that built up hydrolic pressure that was then used to boost fuel efficiency. I know of a team at MIT that came up with a cogeneration system that would run everything but the engine from the heat produced by the engine. These innovations are ready to go for all vehicles and would probably result in a 10 mpg boost.

The government needs to get much more aggressive. Think of a cattle prod on the butts of the cattle to get them moving.
