Now I'm a petrol head, and in no way as green as I should be. Shame on me.

But I haven't even heard of this car or this movie! Looks good though.

Looks like a perfect companion for a double feature with An Inconvenient Truth http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount_classics/aninconvenienttruth/trailer/

Who killed the electric car? The hybrid car. It has nothing to do with your point (the movie) but the Hybrids have proved to be the most pointless inventions, though fancy chrome-plated logos have convinced the naive group of people to invest in machines that get 2 extra miles a gallon. FROM, I shall add, a car that costs nearly double than a gasoline-driven car.

The real deal is diesel-to-oil conversion. Buy a diesel car, and pay 9,000 dollars to make yourself a car that runs on old vegetable oil. Small chinese-food joints give away the fuel for free, and the car get 200(!) miles a gallon. All you need to do is refine the vegetable oil before you use it, which is low-costing.

But other than that, the trailer looks good- though I doubt I will be able to see it. An Inconvenient Truth has been out for a while, and it still has yet to make it's venture to make it to the Charlotte-Metro area.
