Rest In Peace, old friend, your work is finished.......
If you want on or off the DIESEL "KnOcK" LIST just FReepmail me........
This is a fairly HIGH VOLUME ping list on some days......
KnOcK!.......
I wonder what those using high percentage biodiesel (B-20 or above) are getting, real world. The increased lubricity ought to have some effect on fuel efficiency.
Uhm now tell them how much more it costs to change the oil and service them. To me the upside is they last so much longer.
I can't wait for a bio diesel hybrid.
I'd like to see small to mid-size diesel pickups. The only one's now are the monsters (like my neighbors F350, you get neck strain talking to him when he's sitting in it).
Watch what happens at the 2008 North American International Auto Show in Detroit when every auto manufacturer unveils turbodiesel engines for automobiles that meet even the 2009 CARB emissions standard. Suddenly, even SUV's and light trucks aren't fuel guzzlers anymore; the prospect of even a big Cadillac Escalade full-size SUV getting 25 mpg on the freeway when powered by the Duramax V-8 turbodiesel looks very enticing.
I'm in the market for a new car to replace my old belching 1980's era Mercedes diesel (that I love, but isn't that comfortable), but don't want/have 50k+ to spend on an E-Class. I'm not really that fond of VW's.
If the auto-makers are introducing diesels into the 2008 lineup, can we expect to see them before the end of 2007?
