You doubt wrong! Or something like that. Good buddy of mine regularly gets about 53 mpg with his 1.3L Metro.

I can use biodiesel when I'm near home and regular diesel if I travel.

It probably won't ever get too popular, but as I said before there's more biodiesel out there than what's currently being used by a large margin. In other words, even if use of biodiesel rises considerably, they won't be dipping into food any time soon.

I don't think having nuclear rods in my car would be safe. Either you're talking about electric cars (which I support) or you're not taking transportation into consideration.

Oh comon, you knew i was kidding. The point I was making is that you could get way better than 43 mpg (what the average Camry Hybrid gets) and not have to spend much at all.
