I find 60 to 70MPG hard to believe, but you sound like you got a prius, and I don't.

I don't know what you're talking about, but diesels never had a torque problem. Horsepower on the other hand might be lacking. Although AUDI seems capable of winning the 24hrs of LeMans with diesel-powered race cars. In fact, you can get an R8 supercar with a very high performance diesel.

I think the new smog regulations on diesels will allow them to be sold in all 50 states. Some require chemical additives to meet these regulations, while other more impressive ones are strictly hardware.
