I don't know why everybody jumps up and down about 'new' fuel saving cars. Honda had them 20 years ago; no diesel, no turbo.

50 Hwy/ 41 city for a combined 45 MPG and the cars were FUN.

In light of our current situation, I think we will go the way of Europe. Last time over, it seemed EVERYTHING new was diesel.
Now if we can get the fuel mfg's. to bring diesel down in $ to where it should logically be....
