There was a year or so where you couldn't get diesels here but VW, MB and BMW all stepped up and got them in.
I still don't understand the exemption for diesel pickup trucks. Each one of those must spew out 10 cars worth of black smoke... -Curt Date: Mon, 27 Feb 2012 18:17:31 -0500 From: Rich Thomas <richthomas79td...@constructivity.net> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Volt vs. Gas Message-ID: <4f4c0f0b.8000...@constructivity.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed MA adopted CA rules too on diesels, the reason being unclear except it is a very liberal state full of hacks and idiots (oops, redundant). That sorta killed the diesel option in that part of the country too I think. Not sure where they are now, but some years ago that was the case. Curt will probably have a comment on that, being more recent vintage in the state. Maybe he could suggest a higher tax on them.... --R On 2/27/12 6:06 PM, Mitch Haley wrote: > Curt Raymond wrote: >> Partially right I think. >> >> The EPA rules are almost absurdly tight for diesel cars > > Worse yet, the CARB rules are impossible, and most makers won't touch > the US market unless they can move that product in CA. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
