The Ford Focus Econic with a diesel engine gets 86mpg.No batteries,no hybrid tech,just a small efficient diesel engine.Of course it meets all US standards,but to buy one you have to import it from Europe(a few have).No Ford dealer will do it for you though.I tried.I even talked to the CEO who runs the import department for Ford out of Chicago.He made it clear no Ford employee could help import one,and no dealer would ever be allowed to have them in inventory or they would lose their job or dealership.
Fords official line is no American wants a diesel car.The truth is not really relevant though.
