All of the naysayers need to watch the American LeMans series and watch the Audis and Peugeots to see just how freakin' fast a diesel can be. Consider the fact that Porsche has come up with a machine that will do around 200 mph and get 76 mpg. 500HP V8 with 200HP of electric motors. Seems to me that the "enthusiasts" are the ones holding back progress to better technologies. "Mr. Ford. I don't need your silly horseless carriage. I'll stick with my two horses and buggy."
