New Diesel Accord In The Works

Hmm, we wonder if this news will change the way next year’s ‘greenest car’ list will look. From CNet comes word that Honda expects to bring a diesel-powered Honda Accord to the U.S. by 2010.

It gets 62.8 miles a gallon on the highway, but otherwise looks and feels like a regular Accord. At that mileage level, the car is about as “clean” as a new Toyota Prius. But if you run it on biodiesel, a form of diesel made from vegetable oil or animal fat, it would be even cleaner than a Prius (Priuses get 60 in the city).
