Another Perspective

(Page 2 of 2)

Hey, when gasoline's only $1.40 per gallon, why bother with diesel... ?

This is why we don't get the BMW 530d, LR3 diesel -- or any of the other state-of-the-art diesel-powered vehicles currently available in Europe. The manufacturers are not about to sell vehicles that won't run properly on the available fuel. Indeed, there are so many potential problems in terms of emissions issues alone that they'd be crazy to even try. Next to the IRS, the EPA is the last government agency you want drawing a target on your back.

So, until we can get decent quality diesel fuel -- sometime in 2007, supposedly -- we'll just have to wait.

And pay.
