Europe to ban diesel fueled cars in major cities as early as 2018. Headlines all over the media the other day.It has always suprised me how quickly diesel took off. I always thought the popularity was to do with these cars being cheaper to make, easy torque, little R&D, all the reasons car co's would market these as the next big thing. Now it appears that diesel is not the clean fuel we have been led to believe it to be, with VW fudging results a while back & plenty of conjecture to be found. It seems that because diesel emits more pollution in operation but less over time due to less fuel use, is not all its cracked up to be. Will be interesting to watch what the states & here do. There could be a hell of a lot of high end european diesels & turbo 4's going very cheaply sooner than we think. I wonder what the car sales folk are telling potential buyers?
