With Hybrids becoming all the "Rage" these days, Europe has been riding the red headed stepchild of the automobile world all the way to the bank!
Diesel Engines are becoming even more efficient than Hybrid cars netting close to 50 MPG. But what is a Diesel Engine and why is it so much more efficient. Well a Diesel Engine is very similar to a normal everyday combustion engine with ine major difference. Diesel Engines do not employ the use of a spark plug, rather they reply on compression in the engine to ignite the fuel mixture, and this causes a cleaner more efficient burn, thus wasting less gas.
Volkwagen has been at the forefront with their TDI (Turbo Diesel Injected) with their Golf running around Freeways getting anywhere between 42-47 MPG these owners seem to be part of some secret club.
Now there is again big new from our friends to the east. Subaru plans on bringing a Dielsel Powered car over to the U.S. that according to Motor Trend will get near 50 MPG. Too good to be true? No, guess again....with the demand rising for more fuel efficient cars, the Big automakers better cash in before its too late!

Here's a Diesel Savings Calculator.
Well, when Subaru brings it here, I'll go looking.
Diesel engines are pretty fuel efficient the way they are... The risen price of diesel fuel is pretty scary. We used to use diesel fuel to wash parts in, cause it was so cheap !!
Why not increase the engine efficiency by reducing its internal friction ? Dramatic strides in lubrication have been made that result in not only better gas mileage, but reduce and eliminate wear. Nanotechnology is the future of lubrication. http://www.tungstenanospheres.com
