I was talking with a friend today about the merits of electric over diesel fueled cars. He commented on the fuel economy enjoyed by many diesel vehicles. Personally, I didn't see his point, but it did get me thinking.
Nearly every electric on the market has a diesel or fuel-based counterpart. In some cases, it's not a huge jump to the next one. In others, it's huge.
Interesting to note the proposed difference between the Outlander Diesel (out now) and the Outlander PHEV. Unfortunately, we can't compare it yet since it's not out in the real world market yet, unless you count Japan.
Still the Diesel reports 48.7mpg while the PHEV is saying 149 mpg for the outlander plug-in. Thoughts?
