Replying to: gagrice (Apr 15, 2007 7:12 am) ...Good to hear from you. Sounds like that 530d is a wonderful car. The sooner they are offered in the USA the better. A diesel X5 would get my attention for sure. Keep us posted on any new diesel developments. "... I was thinking this out loud, but I got to wondering what the regulators in the US have against "BIGGER" cars that actually get 41 mpg!!??? I also follow the Honda Civic (small car) Real World MPH, and the mpg is literally all over the place 16-43 mpg. I report what we get in a daily commute, 38-42 mpg and plenty of folks wax: " no way Jose"   (Actually much more gritty than that, but.....another subject.

Replying to: hypnosis44 (Apr 14, 2007 8:34 pm) Hybrids in their present form are problematic. If there were to be a fuel crisis tomorrow, could you... 1. Could you run any gasser hybrid on anything more than E10 reliably without modifying any mechanical part in the engine? 2. Will a gasser hybrid maintain the same level of FE if the amount of ethanol in gasoline increases significantly(40 -60%)? 3. Since the majority of commuting in this country is more highway like than city like, diesel is king for that type of driving whereas hybrid is king for inner city stop and go driving. Add to this that this is a "Diesel" forum, why would hybrids even be part of the discussion? There are many of us here who have not dismissed hybrids but do see them as part of the solution to dependence to foreign oil. A good number of the posters here just happen to prefer diesel over hybrids, plain and simple.
