It is going to be *at least* 20 years away. ICE's still have a lot of life left in them. They keep coming up with new gadgets and tricks to keep pulling efficiency out of them. The 2-mode hybrid system (a coalition of GM, MB, BMW?, and some others) is a GREAT system IMO. Increases city fuel economy by 50-100% in **SUV's** and that is with the largest engine available for that car. ie, Saturn Vue Greenline 2-mode has a V6, and the Yukon 2-mode has the 6.1L V8.
