We moved to Colorado in October.  I wish I could have brought a few of those 
cheap Portland area Mercedes Diesels with me to sell.  Values are quite 
inflated up here since there aren't many running around.

That sounds like a business opportunity.  Snag a semi, get a car carrier and 
load it up.  Make a pair of trips each summer to deliver the ones you picked up 
for next to nothing over the winter.

Funny how the half wit 'journalist' choose to write Diesel without 
capitalisation and all the commentators followed suit.
Ahh no hang on, in the heading Mr lavrinc capitalised Diesel. Ahh well 
at least he managed to spell Deisel (sic) correctly.

OED says that the word is lower-case, though the derivation is from the
name.
http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/diesel

AP Style Guide says to use OED or equivalent.  Heading will be capitalized
anyway.

QED the editor is correct.

Best,

does not capitalize Diesel when speaking

No mention of the Subaru boxer Diesel, bummer.  I guess that one dried up 
like the Honda Accord?  I bet they'd sell a few here in Colorado, Subaru 
capital of the U.S.
