15ppm, down from 500ppm. Diesel in Europe is 50ppm and they're debating
dropping to 10ppm, what they call "sulphur-free."

difference between beef farts and bean farts, too.

Bean or beef? I'd prefer bean...less lingering power.

They don't even have that in Europe. One night in

When I visited Great Britain I was amazed how many diesel passenger cars
there were. My friends in Germany have a diesel Mercedes crossover that will
regulary do 140mph on the 'Bahn. We're visting next month and I am
anticipating the ride!
