Don't even get me started about "Global Warming"... It's just a screen to keep the sheeple's minds off how bad they're being screwed in this country. In the early 70's it was global cooling... maybe in 5-10 years it will be global moderation... Doubt that... we'll all be goose stepping by then...
ANYWAY... I can see the point about having a cleaner engine, but there is a point of diminishing returns. If you have so much pollution crap on your engine that it eats as much fuel as a gasser, it's kinda a moot point, is it not? I can remember following R model Macks with the 350 Maxidyne and strait 5 speed... under the right conditions, you didn't need your sunglasses anymore.
Today's standards are plenty fine... for both gas and diesel engines. Trouble is the green weenies can't say that because they and their bureaucrats would be out of a job. And we can't have the gov't getting any smaller now, can we?
rray32539 - I completely agree with you.
