I bet in a couple decades gasoline will be a rarity for "special occasions", kind of how leaded gas is for old collector cars that haven't been updated. You can still get it, but it's pricey and just not widely used.
Hybrids are a joke and battery technology has a LONG way to go before the electric car will ever be practical. Hydrogen will be the future of power, it's inevitable. The technology is there, practical cars have already been built that use it(Honda did it a few years ago). Even Honda's first publicly released car had a range of over 200 miles and could refuel in the same amount of time as a gas car. Had power similar to a Civic. That's the car of the future. Not a Prius, not a dinky all-electric that gives 30 minutes of driving and 3 days of charging, a hydrogen electricity cell that emits pure water as "exhaust".
But it's far too promising that the oil companies feel threatened by it and such it's limited to localized test markets with no plans for a hydrogen infrastructure or mass production. Sure....people with beloved gas burners will still have demand, but probably 95% of drivers would ditch their old ride in an instant, the oil market would collapse. Demand would exponentially fall instead of rise.
