This would be cool.

My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.

That's 78 mpg US on the NEDC cycle, which is a lot harder to beat than the EPA numbers.

While I can see the attraction of diesels in the US, they're NOT the solution.
They just bring along other issues.
Expensive ones, both in maintenance and public health.

They're still better than hybrids...

workaround ideas to discuss among friends: Diesels: energy-efficiency doesn't need excessive complexity
