Diesel cars in America are Volkswagen Beetle, Golf, Jetta, and Passat.
They are called TDI or turbo diesels.
VW Toureg has an optional Diesel engine.
Older Mercedes, Audi, and BMW's have Diesels.
They do get better gas mileage than gas cars. The Jetta/Beetle/Golf TDI's get 40mpg city and 44mpg highway.
Diesels also do pollute more, but the newer Diesel cars are just as clean as gas engines. Volkswagen made new Diesel engines called Clean Diesels or Blue Motion Diesels.
Volkswagen just started selling the new Jetta TDI this month and it is already sold out. They only made 1,800 new Jetta TDI's for 2009 model year. The new Rabbit and Beetle TDI's Blue Motion should come out by the end of 2009.
turds like the Eldorado/Toronado of the mid 80s turned everyone in America off to diesels.
VW and Mercedes tried valiantly to keep the market up, but Americans just couldn't fall in love with the oil burners.
now that clean diesel is more available, it's trying to make a comeback, but it will be a while before we buy them for daily transport.
right now, in my home state, Diesel is running about $1 more per gallon than gasoline....the fuel efficiency gained is not worth the extra cost.
Mazda made a diesel pickup. USA made models include Cadillac, Ford van & Chevy van. Seems like Olds also made a diesel model car.
I presently own a small SUV that takes gasoline. My next purchase will the two be an oil effective small automobile (i could like to get a Mini Cooper) or a Hybrid SUV. I kicked myself as quickly as I observed that the SUV i bought final twelve months got here out with a Hybrid version. I discovered my lesson on that one. meanwhile, i'm going to guard by skill of utilizing as low as conceivable (strolling to places like the food market or close by resturants) and writing to my close by congressmen approximately how i think approximately increasing gasoline expenses.
