Very true. Such a system would be more than the sum of its parts, too, since diesels like to be run at WOT even more than spark-ignition engines (from an efficiency point of view), and the hybrid setup allows the IC engine to spend most of its time at WOT or not running at all.

Ah - but even better would be a DIESEL hybrid - maybe burning bio diesel :-)

I *am* of the opinion that biodiesel could ultimately be a cure for dependency on foreign oil, but even if it isn't, it's way better than hybrids or fuel cells no matter how you look at it, and it doesn't involve any unproven technology under the hood.
