What is impressive about 51 mpg???? My VW TDI does the same. Much more driving fun than lame Prius.

15% + 15% = 30%??

I said 15% due to higher energy density per volume, and 15% due to the better thermodynamic cycle of the diesel cycle compared to the otto cycle. It has something to do with compression ratios and specific heat of the fluids.

The Prius has atkinson, which has a better thermodynamic efficiency compared to otto. Diesel produces far more NOx, SOx and soot (toxic). Co2 is NOT toxic.

The Prius is particularly popular with professors, the most intelligent people on earth.

How much more are you going to repeat yourself? You sound like a small town politician.

You try to sound smart by describing different types of engines, but in the real world where we build and modify engines, the difference between an Atkinson cycle and the Otto Cycle is a change in the heads and camshaft. How long have engine builders been doing this? Should a car company be proud that they know how to do this? The HID bulbs in your POS prius are more advanced than this!

God, how long do you continue to stay with your false arguments while it's pretty obvious you got even the basic facts wrong.

You really say the energy density is 30% more, while ALL the respected neutral resources say otherwise (wikipedia, university databases/books).

Or that you say 'emissions' are lower, while it's basic knowledge to know diesels produce more NOx, SOx and soot..

How on earth can anyone discus with you?

Are you equally stubborn in real life?

And I completely disagree with your statement that "professors, the most intelligent people on earth."

What a joke! I have dealt with many professors, been through plenty of post-graduate school, and while I appreciate and respect professors, they are by far the most intelligent people on earth.

If they were intelligent, do you think they would be teaching the same repetitive materials to people that can't think for themselves? The most intelligent people are people you'll never hear of.

Definition professors:
""a teacher of the highest academic rank in a college or university, who has been awarded the title Professor in a particular branch of learning; a full professor: a professor of Spanish literature. ""

Like always people who have already proven themselves in the scientific world. And very often only teaches 1 or 2 days a week, the rest doing studies.

Although "among the most intelligent" would have been better. Or popular among scientists, which is also true.
