Replying to: ruking1 (May 09, 2009 8:36 am) Several states have already kicked up the gasoline/diesel tax claiming that the more efficent vehicles have reduced their cashflow. The tax man will ALWAYS get his cut no matter how little fuel you burn. As for the US federal emmissions laws -vs- diesel.... If you do any research on the subject, you will quickly learn that the EPA does not like diesel for some reason and is trying to keep them off the roads by making the emmissions-standards almost impossible to meet. Case in point... the new VW TDI engine which is 50-state legal is by far the most complicated engine they have ever sold. I am half-afraid all that complexity may make the reliability suffer.

Replying to: bpeebles (May 09, 2009 7:18 pm) But I agree that the EPA's intentions do not favor diesel. |

I have been posting periodically the price differential between reg unleaded gas and diesel. As high a $1.15 per gallon, it is now zero. Both cost 2.29/gal. This is bizarre but may relate to the lack of need for winter fuel diesel. I guess the FE advantages of owning a diesel depend on which season you are talking about.

Replying to: pod (May 22, 2009 12:53 pm) See msg #7665 in "Diesels In The News" for an 82% RUG premium over diesel (per mile driven) with diesel and RUG way off the 4.50 per gal highs. |

"The price of diesel fuel dipped to less than the price of a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline earlier this month, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA)." Diesel-Fuel Price Plunges; Will Engines Be Revived? (AutoObserver) |

| Here near Pittsburgh, my local stations have diesel and regular both at $2.399. | |
