A diesel Honda that gets 62.8 miles a gallon?

vw launched a diesel + electric that does over 70+ mpg that is coming to the US

I'm looking forward to true diesoelectric hybrids (like trains).

With a small 1.x liter I3 diesel generating power, a few high voltage capacitors and a medium sized battery - you can actually have a PZEV 100mpg car that's also fairly fast (tons of torque from a start). The car would be fairly light because the transmission can be eliminated and the weight can be distributed evenly since engine placement would be independent of FWD/RWD/AWD.

AWD can be easily achieved with 4 small electric motors without using any energy-sapping transfer cases, clutches or shafts. Should be interesting.
