The oil ind. screws us all.
Summary -
They have the technology to get silly mpg but have no interest in bringing it to market.
While i am sure it is true to a certain extent, the film makers obviously put a lot of spin on the subject.
Considering the number of car manufactuers 50 years ago, i would be suprised if one didn't bring it to market, not forgetting the home brew tech people have been working on across the world.
We have had cars that will do 60mpg for 10 years but nobody cared enough until the prices went up 50% in a few years.
Take these 60mpg oil burners, stick on an overdrive etc and 75mpg would be possible, at the expense of any kind of pleasure.

Couldn't get it to work with Firefox, only Chrome.
Surely it was obvious in the first place?
Not a conspiracy, just what you would call human nature, something we simply require (Oil and Gas), we cannot put up a good enough argument against the companies because as far as we are concerned, as long as our houses are warm and our cars filled, we simply don't care how its done or for how much (though at some point people will start caring if they can no longer pay for food).
Its never the fault of a few intelligent calculating people, they are simply playing with what's already there, our own selfishness and love of convenience.
We are always to blame, always.
Wars over petty royal squabbles
Wars over petty religious squabbles
The burning of Alexandria Library (much more specific, but very relevant)
Just to name a few.
We look for scapegoats just as much as the government does, we are human after all, we cannot accept it was our fault, i find it pathetic.
I almost cry when i hear the words liberal democracy, we are nothing of the sort, a liberal democracy would see people working for their rights and freedoms, instead we work to destroy it, simply because its inconvenient for us in times of unchecked human emotion.
Government is simply plausible deniability for the population, if we aren't somehow connected to their actions, then all the wars weren't "our" fault...they were our democratically elected governmental officials faults.
I suggest people grow up for once.

To wear you down, like Scientologists
It will probably teach you more and make more sense.
