    There are dual fuel vehicles

    Automakers get extra CAFE credits for making them (so they can actually fall short of the standards). But the fuel just isn't available widely enough. And I think the CAFE credit is getting phased out at some point.

    I was under the impression that a tax credit already existed. Or maybe it expired. At any rate, there are a bunch of bills to require more FFVs in the future (most recently reintroduced in the Senate by Lieberman and Roberts and in the House by Engel and Kingston)
