We are at $1.55. Still cheap enough to run my truck at 80 mph.

US automakers need to take a clue from VW. This is long overdue in US autos.

Not long overdue, it wasn't possible until now. Diesels couldn't meet emission standards without cleaner diesel fuel, which wasn't available until 2007.
In that car, with the regen, shut off, etc, technology, I wonder how a similar gas engine would compare?

I thought we had clean diesel for a few years now.

It was mandated to be available for 2006, but not mandated for vehicles until 2007. I guess that's why the refiners took their good old time about making it widely available until 2007.
