Perhaps one of the more interesting statements about diesel came from
VolksWagen themselves;
They are backing Diesel vs Hybrids

The bottom line.
   Diesel in the past has always been the better value. Trucking firms
and train better bang for the buck. The largest problem with diesel and
cost at the moment is that the war machine runs on diesel not
gasoline.We have created a demand by supporting the war in the middle
east. Just my 2 cents. The demand for diesel high mileage cars also
proves that diesel is the smarter choice at least in my local commuter
market. Brent
