Default Re: "Are diesel vehicles a viable alternative to hybrids?"

Honda has a diesel Civic selling in Europe that gets 78 US mpg - I can't wait until it's clean enough to ge the EPA's blessings. 5-speed Insight fuel economy in a 4-5 seater - leadfooted drivers might still get 60mpg...still would not have emissions as clean as a Prius, but a step in the right direction.

.

61.5mpg lifetime - 82mpg in recent months
