"Clatter and spew smoke"?? They had better not be talking about our cars! OK Don <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Fuel economy story in the NYT -- --
Mileage will be better if you choose a smaller, four-cylinder engine rather than the more powerful, heavier and thirstier V-6 or V-8 version. And the savings may be even greater if you choose a diesel engine. "Chemically, diesel fuel contains 10 percent more energy and diesel engines are 30 percent more efficient than regular gas engines," said David Greene, a fellow at the National Transportation Research Center, which is affiliated with the Department of Energy and based in Oak Ridge, Tenn. So even if diesel prices spike during the winter or when hurricanes shut down refineries, you are likely to come out ahead. The latest diesel engines, like the ones in the Volkswagen Golf TDI and Jetta TDI, don't clatter or spew smoke the way diesel engines did in years past. (New diesel-powered cars are not available in some states, including New York and California, because of emissions regulations.) http://tinyurl.com/cym3b Bruce 82 300CD 334kmi 'His' 85 300CD 236kmi 'Hers' 75 240D 194kmi 'Donner' 77 240D 204kmi 'Blitzen' --------------------------------- Yahoo!
