I think that either you have problems of comprehension in French language or you seek me expressly for I do not know what reason. (....)
All these statements having nevertheless somewhat "challenged" me on my interpretation of the video, I allowed myself to seek advice from someone who has mastered the subject a little bit.
Fearing a censorship of my opinions, I prefer to share with you his through our email exchange.
So here was my question:
Hello,
Following a debate, I have a question about the show "tonight or never":
During your intervention on the "2CV of modern times" which would make 1 L / 100km, you mean that it is not developing because there is no (for the moment) demand from consumers who goes in this direction since the consumer pays less and less for his energy (even if he does not realize it).
It is not a question of bad will or bad strategic choice on the part of industrialists, nor of lobbying of the oil companies. These cars will hit the market when there is sufficient demand potential, when the price of energy has risen enough.
Correct me if im wrong.
Thank you in advance
Sincerely,
His response was quick. Perhaps, too, it will seem too proud, immature or idealistic in the eyes of some but I am hopeful that his opinion will light up the lantern of some and cut short this low controversy mixed with misunderstanding, ideas preconceived ideas and insults:
Hello
You understood everything ! Statistics show that, by and large, the consumer always spends all of his available budget, roughly what he earns minus his net savings (which can consist of loan repayments). As a result, the lower the price of the items, the more the consumer buys them, and that also goes with the price of energy. It is a behavior that ignores borders ...
the solution to the problem is therefore of biblical simplicity: raising the price of energy. This point of view is developed in www.manicore.com/documentation/articles/pleinSVP.html
Sincerely
Jean-Marc Jancovici
Indeed, as noted above: These words are genius (rare are those who manage to perceive it) because everything is said in a few sentences (see the video in question).
On occasion, I will still have to correct this conclusion, I am not sure it is appropriate:

..... everything else speaks for itself (or, ultimately, apologies), .... even if it borders on ridicule or even patheticism. Frightening obscurantism ...
End of the controversy.
Cdlt,
PS: Thank you to those who will read this message, to memorize it well, I am not sure of its survival (although to do without the advice of Jancovici on such forum would be heresy !!!).
For those who still have some questions or doubts, do not hesitate to contact him !!! In general, it responds fairly quickly.
