I was doing my Friday morning reading when I came across an article titled, “10 Cars That Get More Than 40 mpg“. This was an interesting list of cars.  The first 2 listed were hybrids.  The first named (of course) was the Toyota Prius and the second (my kind of car) was the Honda Civic Hybrid and they were the only two that are available in the US.  The rest of them are not available for sale in the US.  Three of them are not diesel while the rest of the five are not sold in the US because they are diesels.  Guess who is the maker of two of these fuel efficient cars … FORD!!!!  One is the Ford Fiesta ECOnetic that I mentioned in one of my articles and the other is the Ford Ka.

So it seems to me that Ford could save itself without all this bail out.  Maybe we are putting some of these bail out money in the wrong place.    Are we really too stupid to learn about the new cleaner diesel fuel?  Don’t you think that we will buy one of them if they show the same product quality, fuel efficiency and greener.  I am driving a Honda Civic Hybrid.  I am driving it because it’s reliable, more fuel efficient and greener.  Not just because it’s a Honda!
