Toyota and Honda are marketing against themselves as well as the rest of the market in trying to make their Hybrids compete against the Diesels they already sell

Maybe in other markets.. But, here in the USA??
I don't know anyone who buys anything but gasoline cars & trucks..

I wonder how many 5 passenger Diesels are on the road around here? Maybe 1 out of every 5,000 cars?

In my town today, I can get gas for $2.60 diesel is $3.10 a gallon..

I see a few diesel cars while bicycling in Lexington, when we ride past the homes of millionaires.

Just a guess, but if the demand for diesel cars increases, I'm pretty sure the cost of diesel fuel is going to increase too.
It's basically the same stuff that millions of people heat their homes with..
Just with extra taxes..
