Hybrid Diesel might have a few technical problems with all the starting and stopping in city driving. In hybrids, gas engines are turned off at every stop and on again when motion is resumed (which is one of the reason they get better mileage in city than in country driving). Diesels can't just be switched on and off that way. -- Regards, Pete pgranzeau at cox.net
