In regard to future technology I'd be putting my money on very small turbo diesel hybrid tech. Many cars require less than 20hp to maintain 60mph. A small turbo diesel could do that easily but acceleration would suck, that's why it would be a hybrid. The electric motor would kick in at the low end for more grunt and the diesel would be rated for cruising speeds. Add in bio and reclaimed veggie oil fuels (don't forget the dead cats.) Expect mpg in the 70-80mpg range. Those interested in investing should keep their eyes open....
