In the future diesel engines will come under heavier scrutiny as some of
their emissions are more carcinogenic than dioxin.

Subject: [OM] Dear John O' Regan Re Gas prices
| Dear John,
|
| Is Diesel fuel in your country any cheaper, versus gasoline? Here in the
| United States, there is no difference($1.59 a 9/10ths of a gallon), but in
| the old days, there was a difference, diesel was always cheaper.
|
| In the United States back in 1983-1987, Isuzu sold a great little diesel
| engine that was available in their Isuzu P'up truck line models and
| available in their I-Mark automobile model.
|
| For some reason it was discontinued in the United States. I have heard 2
| reasons why, one was environmental, the other was Cheverolet purchased 49%
| of Isuzu Diesel, and only want the Diesel available in the Silverado's.
| (their brand truck)
|
| Chevrolet in the past could never produce a relaible diesel engine that
| could compete with Fords diesel enigne. Now Chevy (really Isuzu) diesels
| have an excellent reputation.
|
| The point in all of this is, are diesel engines in your country more
| prevalent than gasoline engine automobiles?
|
| They no longer sell any new diesel automobiles in the United States,
Trucks
| yes, but not cars. I here in Europe and other Countries, they are popular?
|
| Thanks,
|
| Sam....
