I'm not sure even a hybrid Camry AVERAGES 36mpg.
I drove the piss out a Citroen C-2 turbo diesel in France once, and got 40mpg.
It only had power from 1500-3000 rpm, but was fun.
I was envious when I read a few years ago that Corvettes could get 27mpg on the hwy.
Well, I got 42 mpg on the hwy at 70 mph for 70 miles last month, and averaged 34.4 for the tank.
That Vette will beat me, but not by a bigger margin of fun.
Yeah, I admit the wind was 20mph behind me.
I was a Exxon fuel distributor and asked Exxon why diesel cost more than gasoline.....
They said: "The molecules are too valuable to waste in fuel".
In other words, diesel can be reworked into many petrochemical products.
