[QUOTE="soberups, post: 397247, member: 14668"] I have a 2006 VW Jetta TDI turbodiesel that gets me about 40 MPG on the highway and 34-36 around town. For about 8 months out of the year, I run 100% biodiesel made locally from recycled cooking oil and domestically grown soybeans. During the colder months pure biodiesel can gel, so I run B20 which is a blend of 20% biodiesel and 80% petroleum diesel. I like my car better than a hybrid, because I will never have to worry about replacing an expensive battery pack or dealing with complex electrical problems. I personally have my doubts about how well the hybrids will hold up once they get older and get a lot of miles on them; diesel engines on the other hand typically last over twice as long as gasoline engines before requiring an overhaul.
