what a great solution. 
funny how europe has been steadily reducing polution output and consumption for years by taking advantage of advances in diesel technology while the US tries to go off in it's own little direction that is less developed and costs more. |
let me get this straight. Europe has reduced polution and consumption by making advances in diesel technology. I understand that. BUT....You'd still have to buy a new car for you to reap the benefits....so its really the same either way you look at it. buy a new E85 car or buy a new diesel. I't would be cheaper to convert a car to run on E85 than it would be to buy a new diesel car or truck.
The point I'm making is you cant retrofit most of todays technology, so the only option to see the benefits of the new technology is to buy a new car or truck. Both here in the states and across the pond in europe, you'd have to buy a new vehicle to see any sort of gain over what we all have now.
