I became a bus and train convert while in Europe. It's not the cost, but
the convenience, and you don't have to worry about parking a bus or a train.
"Gasoleo", or diesel as we call it, isn't very cheap there either. :o( It's
too bad we don't have buses and trains like that here.
Avis gave me a diesel, because it was all they happened to have in town. I
thought I knew Spanish, until I tried to read the instructions on the pump.
Who would have thought, that a nozzle would be a "boquilla"? The raw fuel
doesn't smell so bad either. You can tell it is some kind of diesel, but
not like ours. I put a drop on my finger and smelled it, thereby convincing
the station attendant that I was "loco americano".

Re: Liberty CRD engine trivia
Hi Earle,
We have always put a color and/or smells into our otherwise
colorless, or odorless home gases. In the seventies Chevrons 105 octane
was clear as a bell and we pumped it from our white painted pumps, just
the blue tinted gas came from our blue painted pumps, and our regular
from the red pumps. You can understand why we put a smell into our
natural gas, and interestingly we all recognize it.

Re: Liberty CRD engine trivia
Don't forget we just changed governments and the new one dumped all the
clean air laws the old one made up.
I don't know how much that affects the diesel quality, but they are
forcing alcohol on us that actually has something like 20% less BTU
output than the input to make and deliver the junk and blows tons more
CO2 into the air according to the local news. 'They' say that this
extra CO2 will magically get blown to the corn fields for them to ingest
so it doesn't count as pollution. LOL!
It is just a pure farm subsidy.
