The rest of us mere mortals have to contend with whatever s commercially available, right? But as my family discovered on a recent road trip , there are some great non-hybrid options out there right now.
(Think about it. If I'd told you a decade ago that we'd be happy when fuel prices fell below $3 a gallon, you'd think I was off my rocker. In July 2002, a gallon of unleaded gas cost $1.43 and we were all driving SUVs. Ah, the good old days!)
The scariest part about driving a diesel car is that it's a diesel car. Not every gas station can accommodate your fuel needs. AAA's TripTik app came in handy because it identifies which stations carry diesel in addition to offering fuel price comparisons.

We made it all the way up to Maine and back down to Florida 4,294 miles on just a few tankfuls of fuel. It probably cost us 30 percent less than if we'd driven our 2005 Honda Accord (which also gets terrific gas mileage, but not that good).
My sister and I have a travel/humor blog and this post made me think about a post we had recently broadway tickets about the car we rented in Sicily. We thought it got fabulous mileage but we were not entirely correct about that! Check out the post
I own a Jetta TDI and love taking it for road trips around California and hardly ever feel like I need to fill up. I also love the six speed manual version that makes it feel like I can really use the torque, despite the quiet engine.
