[Vwdiesel] Jay Leno did a pro-diesel/VW diesel article!

  I was flipping through an April 2002 Popular Mechanics that my son
dragged home.  Here's an article by Jay Leno titles "Driving Fuelishly."
He comments how he has a 1909 Baker Electric that will go 110 miles
on a charge.  The new GM EV-1 goes 120.  Gee a whole 10 mile gain
in 100 years of advancement.  It still uses the original batteries too!
  Then he says "...the best alternative fuel is one we already have, but
this country doesn't want to produce: No. 1 refined diesel fuel...  You
can go to Europe and you can get a VW Golf that gets something
like 60 mpg.  You could bring that over here and it would sell just fine.
It runs best on ultralow sulfur content No. 1 diesel..."  Notice it says
runs "best" not that it won't run on No. 2.
  Worth the read and I was surprised to find someone from Hollywood
is pro diesel.  :)
  I'll try and get it scanned and up somewhere for those of you that can't
find a copy.  The local library is a good source if you don't know of one
you can borrow.
