Forget a hybrid…Diesel is the way to go
Honda has developed a car that runs on diesel fuel and get more miles to the gallon that a hybrid. The car maker says that the car runs on “clean” diesel and expects it to be in the US by 2010. The new car gets about 63 miles a gallon while looking and driving like a Honda Accord.
The car can run on regular diesel fuel, which is commonly found at gas stations. It can also run on biodiesel, a form of fuel made with vegetable oil or other fats. With that in mind, it would be a cleaner car than the Prius.
Honda showed the car off earlier in the month at a trade show. The show was in California, where the state has passed strict bills limiting fuel emissions. It is also a very big market for “cleaner cars”.
