Re: Libert Diesel...Nov 04 or early 05?
Hi Steven,
Great sites, diesel is a hundred times dirtier than gasoline. From: http://www.ucsusa.org/clean_vehicles...fm?pageID=1307 "Gasoline vehicles are more cost effective than diesel for reducing oil use and lowering global warming pollution. From: http://www.ucsusa.org/clean_vehicles...cfm?pageID=230 "While increasing the number of diesel vehicles on the road offer only a modest potential reductions in global warming pollution, it poses a significant rick to air quality. Under current emission standards for cars and trucks, diesels are allowed to pollute over twice as much nitrogen oxides as gasoline vehicles, and 10 to 100 times more particulate matter. Nitrogen oxides are a main precursor to smog (urban ozone), and particulate aggravate respiratory problems, including asthma, and have been associated with premature death." That's enough for me.

Summary: Ironic how he who complains about the emissions from a diesel, himself drives a vehicle that would not pass anywhere close to todays emission standards.. Kinda hypocritical... And no I don't have a problem with my Jeep.. It's in perfect mechanical condition, and in virtual mint condition other then a few rock chips in the windshield which will soon be replaced.. It would very easily pass an emissions test.. if there actually was a requirment here..which isn't very likely to happen any time in the forseeable future.. |

You don't know a thing about the combustion engine, do you?
