Well then, learn to take care of your machines like a fleet owner,
as diesel maintenance is extensive, you don't just chance a filter, oil
and go: http://www.billhughes.com/temp/VolvoVT880EngineD16.jpg

You're being an ass again, Bill.

Matt, as long as you are using the fuel needed by our Real businessmen
for pleasure, you'll always be an a**hole in my book!

Thanks! I'm curious how long you think it will last. I have a diesel
Jetta that I expect to drive for over 10 years. Based on fuel
consumption and price differential here, the engine doesn't pay out for
a long time. But if I can buy one vehicle in a 10 year period instead of
two, that makes a huge difference especially when inflation is low.

Back when the American economy and productivity was the envy of the world we
equated smoke with prosperity.

Is it just a coincidence that the economy went down the tubes right after
the EPA was established?

I'm not condoning pollution either but just how are they going to install a
$300, 25 pound catalytic converter on my weed eater.

Is that engine a real diesel or is it a lightweight automotive version?
Seems like if it's a real diesel the extra cost of the fuel might be
more than balanced out by longer life of the engine... it might even
last as long as the first 4.0 in my Cherokee!

Hi Bill,
You can bet China nor Mexico will never have to add that to their
cost of production.

Look around you, isn't every car made in the last ten years still
on the road? Even the Japanese cars, but that about it for them. Diesel
trucks payoff at about a million miles.

I don't know where you live, but diesel is a lot higher than
unleaded gasoline here in Kalifornia.
