But still run on gas, as far as 10KM ride, yeah that works in some climates, but won't do so good for others.
But your statement again the way I read it is that the gas companies are driving the customers away. Who's customers? GMAC's customer? then yes I agree, but if you're saying the gas companies.... then no I don't agree because Tata runs on gasonline.

Gas company customers. When I look for alternatives, I am looking for options that would involve me using less of the product, thereby driving me away. I become less dependant on it.
- Vehicles that use less gas (hybrids, efficiency)
- alternative vehicles (scooters, motorcycles, bicycles)
- creative options (carpooling, autoshare or zip car programmes)
- purchase behaviour (reduced quantity at a single purchase, feuling based on dollar amount versus litres or fillup)
These are all ways to drive people away from using gasoline. My overall consumption has dropped in just the last two months. I live in what I would call a varied climate, yet I can manage to ride my bike through almost all except the most extreme temps. There are times when it isn't convenient, which are the times that I rely on my car.
