Hello Will,
Great idea. In fact, I believe WV actually makes one, but it is not available in the US and gas mileage around 90. Can anyone verify this?
Thanks,
Tony Marzolino

Why not combine the best of both and create a diesel hybrid? Better city AND highway mileage!

route and got a consumption of about 50-55 miles/gallon. n.b. Figures are from
memory and could be a bit rubbery but the jist of the comment was that current

A diesel WILL outperform a gasoline hybrid in overall fuel economy. But when we drive around town, there are times when we're using NO fuel at all, which means we're not putting anything into the air either. We burn NO fuel while sitting at a light. A diesel can't do that.
A lot of this discussion is just picking nits, but I'd really like to see MORE hybrids and MORE diesels on the road. It shouldn't be an "either / or" thing.robert luis rabello
