Replying to: ruking1 (Nov 06, 2008 6:52 am) Not only do those cruise ships spew a lot of exhaust pollution. They dump raw sewage into the ocean. Several cruise lines have been fined in Hawaii for dumping their sewage in the Harbors. Yet you emit one jillionth of a gram of NoX from a diesel car and you are anti environment. I would expect the cruise business to keep expanding as more people retire. It is the cheapest way to travel if you watch for the bargains. Why no nuclear cruise ships? Clean and only need refueling every 30 years.

rocketing into the abyss and can't even come close to a 35 mpg car even WITH a 25 BILLION dollar TAXPAYER aka government loan... : VW has already BEEN at 42/49 mpg (03 MY) . or 81.4% ahead (of the 27 mpg current standard). Further VW is planning a 117 mpg diesel.... Better news? Development of a follow on 235 mpg VW diesel. !!  Any wonder why the Am market doesn't like diesel? link title But I guess the good news is....LOTS of good deals on Am SUVs !!?? I would even buy a (DIESEL) one !!! |

Replying to: kdhspyder (Nov 10, 2008 11:10 am) However, this same station is charging 50 cents more for 93 octane compared to RUG. Every other station I see is 25-30 cents difference from RUG to PUG. So I'm wondering if the $1 extra for diesel is the norm or just that station. |

Euro Accord Diesel Automatic Honda is using the results of it's effort to design an automatic transmission for the Acura TSX diesel for the euro Accord. quote- The first automatic, diesel-engined Honda, it can do 129mph yet return 44.1mpg and emit just 170g/km -end I would really like to see the euro Accord Wagon offered as an Acura and if it had a diesel that would be even better.

Replying to: moparbad (Nov 18, 2008 10:27 am) A year ago I was interested in an Accord Tourer 2.2 CDTi if there was an auto option. There wasn't and none was in sight. So...........I bought a Volvo S60 D5 with the 6-spd Geartronic. Haven't regretted it but it's nice to have a new kid on the block. For me, though, flappy paddles on a diesel are just a mite pointless. If I want to stir gears on my Geartronic I only need to move the floor-mounted selector across to manual position and finger pressure does the job.
