Re: Gas. when we run out...

That isn't what I meant. My idea works like this: (please note I don't know that much about electronics) Basically the electricity gets routed to two different places. The majority of the energy is used to power the car, the lesser part of the electricity is put into a smaller engine that is used to shake and thereby recharge the generator. Result: Infinite energy and a generator that powers itself.
Copy/paste above response. Your proposed method of recharging the generator will only put back as much energy as you divert from the drive system in the first place; slightly less, because of inefficiencies. Conservation of energy means that it is not possible to make a perpetual motion machine, which is what you're describing.
