Ultimately, I hate comparing diesel technology to
hybrid technology because it's like comparing apples
to oranges. Unlike diesel technology, hybrid
technology is not fuel dependent and hybrid technology
can make diesel technology more fuel efficient. Still,
I have a couple of issues regarding the hybrid
cars versus diesel cars debate.
1.) Why are tests between diesel technology and hybrid
technology made on the highway when it is city driving
and congestion that result in the worst fuel economy,
the worst pollution, and the worst CO2 emissions? If
congestion is the future, why are we testing the past?
2.) It takes more oil to create a gallon of diesel
than a gallon of gasoline. Creating diesel also causes
more pollution. Why isn't this added into the fuel
economy of diesel vehicles if the point is to reduce
oil consumption?
I could go on, but I'll leave it that for now.
