Follow up on Bakken and 150mpg SUV hybrid car

Bloomberg news has an excellent article about the people and companies involved in developing the Bakken oilfield

AFS Trinity's 150 mpg SUV hybrid car is generating a new round of press coverage

AFS trinity appears to be looking to sell the 150 mpg SUV's to operators of car fleets

In Europe there is already a 73 mpg production car, the Skoda Fabia TDI Greenline.
