Diesel is the way to go right now. With diesel you get 30-40% better mileage, more low end torque than a gas engine or hybrid, you have the ability to run various fuels and mixes, it produces less green house gasses than a comparable gas vehicle, is much more reliable than hybrid technology and doesn't require expensive battery replacement or electric motors, the list just goes on and on. America should learn to love modern diesels, if just 20% of people here switched to diesel we would save millions on fuel every day.
