  Inside: This Week in Autos
The price of a gallon of gas has risen about 20% in the past twelve months—but for a gallon of diesel it has shot up more than 50%. Think that would strangle the nascent drive to increase diesel sales in the U.S. in its crib? It might—until consumers hear that even with an average cost of around $4.50 a gallon, diesels will still save them money. The reason, as Jim Henry points out this week, is that diesels are typically 25% to 30% more fuel-efficient than regular gasoline powered cars. That means that even though it will cost you more to fill up at the pump, you will be filling up a lot less often. The result is that diesels can still save you hundreds of dollars at the pump over the course of a year. Elsewhere this week we blogged about the 19,000 workers taking buyouts at GM, upcoming white collar layoffs at Ford and the challenges facing Porsche's new North American CEO. Last, we questioned why Japanese auto makers are increasing production at home and reviewed the revamped Hyundai Sonata. Enjoy.
