liter Power Stroke diesel fuel economy estimates will be published this spring. A common-rail fuel injection system precisely optimizes performance and fuel efficiency, while a high-pressure 29,000 pounds per square inch (2000 bar) injection calibration enables smoother, quieter operation with reduced emissions.

The result is an 80+ mile-per-gallon vehicle — with even greater fuel economy possible utilizing bio-fuels. Nothing has to be invented to produce a plug-in hybrid vehicle,” says Dr. Andrew Frank, a mechanical engineering professor at the University of California at Davis and Director of the UCD Hybrid Electric Research Center.

If we optimistically assume the average US fuel economy is 25 miles per gallon, at $3.00 Cost increments for a plug-in hybrid compact vehicle will be 10-20% more than a regular hybrid: $2000-3000 extra for a sedan; $5000 for an SUV. Using the average U.S. gasoline this equates to 75 cents a gallon for equivalent electricity.
