Revealed: Volkswagen’s 69.9 MPG Diesel Hybrid | Autopia from Wired.com I’ve read about concerns that Clean Diesel and Hybrid/Clean Diesel will have higher CO2 emissions when compared to other Hybrid technologies.  At least from this article it seems that is not the case.  “According to Auto Bild, the hybrid Golf will get 69.9 mpg and emit 90 g/km of carbon dioxide. An earlier report by Britain’s Auto Express said 89 g/km, but either way that’s less than the 104 g/km emitted by the Prius and 116 emitted by the Honda Civic Hybrid. “ VW:  Stop it with this talk about a ‘concept’ vehicle and get this car into production!!
