I agree with you that diesel is a bit more efficient and might decrease imports (or maybe decrease the rate of increase). Really we have nothing to argue about, there. I still don't see how it eliminates OPEC influence, though.

All of the arguements that we have heard around here against conservation, should probably -- in fairness -- be applied to this proposal:

- Huge change of infrastructure!!!!
- Limits my freedom to burn what I please, as much as I please!!!
- Let the markeplace decide: if people buy diesel (lotta diesel cars available, after all) then it will succeed.
- Etc.

        Wasn't the use of Diesels in Cars effectively stopped by the government? - Scott - 5/8/2002 8:00:40 AM
