  It looks like Volkswagen is having quite a month, first entering into a plug-in hybrid partnership with the German government and now announcing plans to produce a diesel hybrid concept good for 235 MPG!
  
  The vehicle will be a limited-edition passenger car, expected to arrive in 2010. The electric motor is likely to be married to on-liter clean-burning diesel. VW claims that together the two propulsion systems will achieve fuel economy of one liter per 100 km (or 235 MPG).
  
  According to Technoride, the new diesel-hybrid is the 2.0 version of the 2002 640-pound concept, which "seated just two people in tandem (one behind the other), and included a jetfighter-style canopy door and rear view cameras in place of less-aerodynamic side mirrors."
