The salespeople at AOPA were really cagey WRT the Diesel 172. As best
several of us can figure, this is for the overseas market.

The salesperson did mention, for example, that 100LL was not to be found
in South Africa. I've no idea whether or not this is true, but it seems
to indicate the target market at which this is aimed.
