Is It logistically and realistic that we could be driving cars that don't guzzle the gas?

How long would it really take for the Car companies to develop a car that doesn't guzzle gas so much if they really put there minds to it. I mean hell... we went to the moon in the 60's, how hard could it be to make a car that runs more smoothly and not eat gas, and all the damn maintence!? I think, in fact know that the gas companies and the car manufacturers are in league together. All about making money. Screw the public right?
