50+mpg diesel

Fuel Prices got you down?

What do you mean no image?  Yeah, we're not willing to give up all our secrets just yet.  Did you know that a Toyota Prius only gets 40mpg on the freeway at 70mph?  Guess what, we found a car that can beat that, and yep, its a diesel.


The plan is to take our truck to a new level of horsepower for a VE truck (project Rust Bucket that is) and stuff is bound to break.  The solution?  I still need something to get to work every day, so I am looking at a little diesel commuter.  With freeways jammed up, it is just as quick to take city streets, and I hardly go over 45mph or 1/4 throttle.  The sad part is, with diesel at $5.00 a gallon, I can save over $1500 a year with a little 50mpg commuter.  What is it?  Is it new?  Old?  Well, you'll just have to wait, but I heard a best of 54.6mpg!
