Boy, diesel fumes must really make diesel fans crazy. Motoring
is claiming that the debate is over, diesel vehicles
are more fuel efficient than hybrid
vehicles.
Forget the fact that a hybrid vehicle could be a
diesel hybrid vehicle. Forget tests by Cars.com and
Edmunds.com, for example, which have demonstrated
conclusively that in urban driving, the Toyota
Prius is simply better than a similarly sized
diesel vehicle.
What I'd really like to know, is if it takes more oil
to produce a gallon of diesel versus a gallon of
gasoline, does diesel offer ANY advantage over
gasoline in terms of foreign oil dependency?
If diesel engine efficiency is simply counter-balanced
by the need for more oil, what's the point?
