Honda is supposedly releasing the Accord and Civic in 2009 with a diesel engine. The Accord will get around 52mpg and the Civic 65mpg and drivers will never have to add any urea like they do with the BlueTec diesels from Mercedes and VW. So it's supposedly a clean diesel as well and about 2x as efficient as anything made stateside so far. source

They will follow those up with a V6 diesel for the Odyssey, Pilot, and Ridgeline.

I've been wondering what in the world is Nigal talking about, so I looked it up:

Decile
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
In descriptive statistics, a decile is any of the 9 values that divide the sorted data into 10 equal parts, so that each part represents 1/10th of the sample or population. Thus:
The 1st decile cuts off lowest 10% of data, i. e., the 10th percentile.
The 5th decile cuts off lowest 50% of data, i. e., the 50th percentile, 2nd quartile, or median.
The 9th decile cuts off lowest 90% of data, i. e., the 90th percentile.


Nigal, what does all of that have to do with diesel cars?

He was hoping for a car that only burns a tenth of the gas that his does.

Duh.

Yeah, duh! Actually that's one of those words I simply can not remember how to spell. I'm very phonic.

wow, you surely can't spell, how could you use "ph" in the place or "mor"?



****elise, the previous statement was meant as humor. I in no way think of nigal as moronic. No insult was intended, but if I have offended nigal I am sincerely opologize and beg his forgiveness.****
