And if the car company and people really wanted to save on gas, VW sells a diesle in europe that gets 75mpg on a regular diesle engine. The tech is there, but car companies don't think thats what we really want.

I know there are diesels out there. The US doesn't seem to want to go that way.
I would like to get a diesel...under the hood of a Peterbilt.
