WRONG WRONG WRONG!

Diesel fuel costs much less than gasoline in Europe.

The reason American gasoline is cheap is because Congree is too
chicken**** to raise fuel taxes to fix the hemorraging budget deficit.
Seems odd for a war over oil. Or was it WMDs or freedom? I forget...

Stick to engines - your knowledge of the economic record is abysmal (or
you've been listening to Paul Krugman).


Euro diesels are light years beyond US diesels as a result of low sulfur
fuels and advanced fuel injection (common rail) systems.

The fuel makes the engine? Ummm....wanna explain that?

Operating at
pressures that would explode the American-style dielsel fuel pump, these
engines are nearly free of diesel clatter and typically perform better
in terms of fuel economy and acceleration than their gasoline
counterparts.

Could you show just some basic links that show some sort of comparison?
(you don't have to delineate the data...just the links)

Low sulfur diesel fuel is a requirement as the sulfuric
acid is quite corrosive to the pump and injector and any catalysts
needed to clean up the exhaust.

How much of the world crude is "sweet" crude, rather than sulfurphic?
