Here's something else to think about. EPA and AQMD (Air Quality Management in Southern Cal), both know that fumes from diesel engines are carcinogenic... in fact, that is why school buses are required to install new emission equipments here in los angeles. I personally went to a public hearing for the school bus initiative and found out some disturbing information. Scientists know that diesels are carcinogenic, but because of the great impact it has economically (think about all the big rigs and buses you see on the road), most law makers won't out right ban their use. They argue that gasoline emissions have their own set of problems, and diesel technology is getting better and better. Nevertheless, the fact remains diesels are carcinogens. Though diesels burn more efficiently, and provide better overall torque... I would be very hesistent to drive one on a daily basis.
