Another fable. Old rat diesels are slow-lane choking the roads of Europe,
belching the same black spew we see over here. EU countries just have a
lower sulphur content in all their fuels, which reduces the stink a bit.

I really don't care whether you believe me, but it is a fact, I get
the same mileage with or without the Jeep on the back. For those with a
diesel mentality I will explain the Bronco has the aerodynamic of a
Jeep, costing me fuel at traffic speeds, and California enforces a
towing speed of fifty five.
I have over three hundred thousand on my Bronco, it definitely
doesn't need a rebuild: http://www.----------.com/smog.jpg

Geez! Didn't you read the the link, these are today's and future
design diesels that are too dirty to pass California, New York, Vermont,
Massachusetts and Maine, emissions standards!
