[Vwdiesel] "Diesels Fueling Renewed Interest"

[Bob Soukup]

A story titled "Diesels Fueling Renewed Interest" appeared in the Los
Angeles Times Business section yesterday.

In the article was a statement that Chrysler is marketing the PT Cruiser as
a diesel in Europe.  I didn't know that!

The story indicates that some of the auto manufacturers are now looking at
the newer generation diesels as a way to boost their overall CAFE ratings.

Bottom line is that we probably will see more diesel offerings in the US.

Something the author of the article left out was the BioDiesel option.

Due to copyright issues I cannot duplicate or post the article, but it is
available at http://www.latimes.com  (search for the keyword diesel)

BTW.  Diesel fuel is 177.9 US (gallon) here in So. Calif. as of yesterday.
