And that's the Catch 22, the people that could really benefit from a
hybrid can't afford them..

Sure, some people can't afford the better hybrids that are available.
However, many people that *do* put 40K or more into a car could easily
afford a decent hybrid, but don't bother or see any need to pay for it.

There really isn't a good reason for not doing it, other than the pressure
from the auto industry. Such laws do not require *all* cars to meet higher
standards. But the technology does exist even to make gas cars more
efficient.
