A Non-Hybrid Gets 74 MPG.
Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

While the Toyota Prius and the Honda Insight certainly have their merits…there are a lot of us who simply don’t want to drive around in a non-sporty 25 second zero to 60 vehicle. What if I told you that for the past 6 years, there was a non-hybrid that gets over 70 MPG, has a reputation for speed, acceleration, looks, and trendiness…Oh and to top it off, is made by BMW.

That’s right the BMW-made Mini Cooper Diesel has all of these attributes and its been available to Europeans for quite a while. There is talk of plans to release it in the states, but apparently the current Mini D’s engine is not clean enough for our shores quite yet. (Just another excuse to keep us all slaves to the gas pump) The word on the street is that we may have to wait for Mini’s next generation diesel engine which is expected to be more environmentally friendly.
