A car achieves a fuel consumption rate of 70 mpg, and no comments have been made. I wonder if I'm the only one who thinks this is really exciting. Amazingly simple, yet ingenius. Hats off to those at Peugeot. How come this wasn't seen earlier? VW has been getting 40-50 mpg for years. Add some batts and an elec. motor...BAM..70 mpgs easy.
In a few years we should see a number of diesel hybrids coming to market. Unfortunately, you might have to live in Europe to enjoy them.
