Glad somebody besides me knows that diesel is cleaner than gasoline exhaust. My late husband worked as service manager for Cummins for years. He told me.

Diesel is MUCH cleaner than gasoline

That may be so in the U.S. if the regulatory standards on automobile fuel differ from those in the UK. In the UK leaded gasoline was banned decades ago, and catalytic converters are mandatory. (For aught I know, that may be so in the US also, I'm just guessing). The annual 'MOT test' of all UK cars over 3 years old measures emissions, which have to be below a certain level to pass - the car is no longer legal if it doesn't.
