For light-duty vehicles, I’m fairly certain gasoline will remain dominant until electrification replaces it for many automotive applications.

Diesel is disappearing quickly in smaller vehicles, with Mercedes Sprinter remaining one of the smallest; and it’s not that small. There are 1/2-ton pickups but are not selling well by comparison.

Propane and natural gas seem popular for local fleets with in-house refueling. I know there are more refueling locations, but I honestly don’t see too many private owners moving away from gasoline unless it’s to electric. When looking at future, my crystal ball is often wrong.



Personally, I’d love a 600~700 cubic-foot van with simple and economical gasoline engine. Reducing vehicle size is a great way to make it cleaner; when it’s practical, of course.
