Mix of gas and hybrid cars to slash fossil fuel use: MIT study
 
The United States can slash its use of petroleum dramatically by 2035 by adding a heavy dose of hybrids to the market, according to a study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

To return U.S. fuel use to pre-2000 levels, however, carmakers would have to improve efficiency and consumers would have to learn to love hybrids, trading features like increased speed and size for higher fuel efficiency.

I'm sorry, but what is it we'd have to trade off? Speed? 102 mph in a Prius is slow?
