During the late innings of the ICE-age (as in the Internal Combustion Engine age) it has become clear that feeding gasoline and diesel to the next billion new cars is not going to be easy, or cheap. By contrast, at 25 miles per $3 gallon of gasoline, those miles cost 12 cents each. New cars in 2015 get 25 mpg.)
