My 1984 Mercedes diesel should run just fine, right?

Only transistors will be affected. If you have a mechanical injector diesel you would be fine. Also the body of the car is a natural shield. Starting fires by emp is pretty ridiculous. 90 % of EMP damage would be radio receivers as the front end xststors are intentionally built to be very sensitive.
The emp scare is much like the Y2k mania.

That seems to be the consensus. As far as a fuel supply goes, if you have a working vehicle and hundreds, perhaps thousands, of vehicles are stranded, draining/siphoning those fuel tanks will keep you going for quite a while. If you can stock up on extra fuel cans and a stabilizer, you might be able to maintain your vehicle for a year or more.
The trick will be dealing with stalled vehicles on the road, roadblocks, and people who decide they want your car, no matter what. :)
