VW has a 'polo', manufactured in europe only, that gets 65-70 MPG. It's a 3 cylinder turbo diesel and not a bad looking small 4 door sedan, I sure hope they import to the U.S.?.
California will do any and everything in it's power to ban anything which might remotely resemble a diesel.

Current technology just isn't there for anything feasible. Considering the free market exchange for energy, it is just too costly.
