My diesel is rated by the EPA at 45mpg Highway.In reality it gets closer to 50mpg Highway.Under favorable conditions I can travel 700 miles (plus)on a tankful.And when it's empty I can "recharge" it in about four minutes at any one of 100,000 "recharging" stations from coast to coast and border to border.
Plug in vehicles? No thanks.Not in this lifetime...or the next.

If you need a longer range then a Chevy Volt would be a better fit. It is a plug-in hybrid: your first 40 miles every day would be electric and if you need to go further, it switches to a gas engine with a 340-mile gas tank.

IIRC, there was a VW Rabbit diesel that got 45 MPG in 1981.
