Diesels coming back?

[Gforcefd]

Fuel-efficient diesels dominate today's European market, and German automakers are preparing to launch a host of so-called "50-state" diesels sellable in the entire U.S. market, starting next year.

Thanks in part to low-sulfur diesel fuel mandated by the U.S. government since 2006, today's diesel engines are quiet, powerful and not smoky — unlike the diesels in the Peugeot 505 of the mid-1980s. And diesel engines get about 30 percent more miles to the gallon, vs. the same-size gasoline engine.

What does all this mean for you? If you’re a car enthusiast who likes choice, the list of cars you can’t buy in America might soon get shorter.



Some good news here for us people that want diesel cars!

I hope diesels come back. Then I can run waste oil for cheaper than gas with better mpg to boot.

Already in the works with existing technology and cheaper than a new diesel by far!
Of course a small item like a centrifuge will make things much easier.
But I have that in the works too!
Plus, if you have an oil furnace you get a little bonus!

Thanks for all your help Matt!
I owe you big time!

i posted some links long ago now on running a car on used veggie oil. ive read about people using it for heating oil also. great idea and much cheaper.

how about the asian automakers, no new diesel from them. wish they would import some of the exsisting cars from there we never see. the micros and the diesel vans.

I have a teacher who runs used vegetable oil in his '82 Mercedes. He uses a two tank system. He has one tank for diesel and one for vegetable oil. He starts it on diesel and lets it warm up, and he has heater hoses running to the vegetable oil tank to keep the vegetable oil from solidifying. Once it's warmed up on diesel, and he's sure his vegetable oil is liquid, he switches tanks and runs on vegetable oil. He's working on doing a similar setup with an F-250 that already has two tanks from the factory. His exhaust smells like french fries.
