I urge automakers to go beyond popular hybrid vehicles and manufacture 'plug-in' electric hybrids that run on electric fuel as well as gasoline or other fuels.

A plug-in hybrid will provide me with the option of plugging my vehicle into an ordinary electric outlet in order to recharge the battery, allowing me to drive on "electric fuel" for a much longer period, reducing my need for ever more expensive gasoline and increasing my fuel efficiency to over 100 mpg!

Because of these many benefits, I pledge to strongly consider purchasing a plug-in electric hybrid vehicle once car manufacturers make them available, even if it costs more than other vehicles.
