"Toyota Motor Corp. unveiled an upgraded fuel-cell vehicle that successfully completed a 350-mile test run Friday, proving its ability to run a longer distance than its earlier model.

"The entire trip was completed with the air conditioner on and with no need to stop for refueling," Toyota said."

But in the US we're told that increasing fuel efficiency standards will destroy the automotive industry, cost jobs and ruin the economy. When you can't build a product that people want, you go out of business. That certainly costs jobs. Competitors are spending this time developing technologies for the future, while American companies spend their resources lobbying Congress. The eventual outcome of this is obvious.
