  The Honda CR-Z has trees which lose their leaves if you drive inefficiently, and you have to drive really carefully to get them to grow back.

      Reminds me of the problems Transmeta had with their low-power processors. The laptops made with them had like 8-hour battery life, but at that time, everyone was looking at performance benchmarks and thought they were crap. Intel bought them and later used a bunch of their tech in mobile processors. I think people will eventually learn to appreciate good mileage, but the first 5 years or so will be pretty rough in the market.
