Diesel is quite effective on its own, so there's less sense for a car maker to make diesel hybrids. And diesel is less environment-friendly, so it would be like making vodka with vitamins, for people who want to be healthy :)

Diesel is most efficient at a specific rpm, which works perfect for a generator and I make biodiesel, so that's why I would prefer diesel. I'm not entirely convinced that a diesel engine with good injectors and good compression is any less clean then a gas engine, it's just not as obvious that the gas engine. Too many people only notice diesel when they're stuck behind a semi truck with a worn engine.

Yes, I mean it's more efficient compared to gasoline, and generally have better torque for starting
