This image of "Diesel" is outdated. Today there are clean burning diesel vehicles that may rival the hybrids in being more environmentally friendly.
Just say the word: Diesel. What do you see?
“Diesel” used to evoke images of black clouds of smoke blowing over your windshield any time you got behind a bus or a truck. UGH!
That’s so yesterday. Today’s diesel powered cars and light trucks evoke an entirely different image.
Thanks to technology breakthroughs by Mercedes and Volkswagen, there are diesels that measure up to increasingly tough air quality and fuel economy standards. In fact, they can rival the hybrids.
Want to help cut U.S. dependence on foreign oil? Diesels can run on biodiesel made in the USA from soybean oil.
Plus, diesel fuel offers better “'well-to-wheels” environmental benefits than gasoline. In fact, according to some experts, diesel provides double the benefit. Diesel requires less energy to refine and provides more fuel economy when it's burned.
For anyone looking for a new option to hybrids, diesels are definitely worth considering.
Someday, hopefully soon, diesels will be combined with hybrid powertrains and we’ll have the benefits of both worlds in a single vehicle.
For detailed information on specific diesel makes and models, Edmunds.com has a great article and chart.
