[Vwdiesel] CNG v. Diesel

[Gary, San Diego]

Interesting article...

I'm dumbfounded!

I find it extremely remarkable that the Republic of Kalifornia would
make such a statement... favoring newer, cleaner diesels over the CNG
types. Most cities in SoCal(especially San Diego) are bent on changing
to CNG. It seems the right hand doesn't listen to the left.

I'm still convinced that the modern diesel is the answer, considering
economics and emissions.
