New Honda Gets 62 MPG. And It's Not A Hybrid.
 

Diesel fuel isn't really known for being an environmentalist's dream. Generally, when Americans think about diesel, they think of big trucks spewing black and noxious smoke into the air. But advances in fuel technology have reduced diesel emissions in recent years. As a result, diesel-powered vehicles are poised to make a resurgence in the American market after decades of being ignored.

Case in point: Honda has developed a diesel-powered Accord it hopes to sell in the United States in the year 2010. The new hyper-efficient, low-emissions Accord gets just shy of 63 miles to the gallon (62.8 to be exact), with out utilizing a power-sacrificing electric hybrid engine.

Using Biodiesel would make the new Accord an even greener choice than the Prius, but still much less stylish.
