Clean Diesel
Honda has announced plans to release a diesel version of the Accord in the US by 2010. This vehicle is targeted to get nearly 63 miles per gallon (~26 kilometers per liter.) This is better performance than the standard issue Prius and when combined with biodiesel makes an interesting story.
Feast your eyes on this, car technology and high-mileage nuts. It’s a Honda Accord that runs on diesel.
Honda expects to bring the clean-diesel car to the U.S. by 2010. It gets 62.8 miles a gallon on the highway, but otherwise looks and feels like a regular Accord. At that mileage level, the car is about as “clean” as a new Toyota Prius. But if you run it on biodiesel, a form of diesel made from vegetable oil or animal fat, it would be even cleaner than a Prius (Priuses get 60 in the city).
This is very cool. I have been waiting for some time to find an efficient diesel vehicle. Would be very cool to have a diesel/electric hybrid. But still, at 63 MPG and the prospect of bio fuels? Me likey!
