Diesel Honda Civic Tourer Hits 83.52 MPG

Diesels' popularity is related to fuel cost (higher or lower, taxes and subsidies influence greatly) and consumer exposure. GM's example 35 years ago demonstrated people will buy them when offered. They might even have become popular if they were good. Benz has remained a keeper of the flame but for most of us, VW is really the only brand of (relatively affordable) relevance there. Most Americans would never guess that all makers have extensive modern experience making diesels.

Isn't there a Jeep diesel here now? Thought I'd read a diesel Mazda is coming too.
