Car gets 65 MPG, but you can't get it in America


Ford's latest offering is the 2009 Fiesta ECOnetic, however it will only be available overseas. It's not a hybrid car, it runs on diesel. Because of the smell of diesel fuel Americans don't like it. In Europe half the cars that were sold last year ran on diesel fuel, only a third of autos in the states were diesel and that statistic included tractor trailers. The fact is, new diesel vehicles have anti-pollution technology that make them as cleaner or cleaner than gasoline-powered vehicles. The new diesel cars are also 30% more fuel-efficient than gasoline-powered cars.
