    Known for a billion years now ..... Although it seems to cause more cancer in the US than here, where they base emissions on NOx rather than Co2.

    Unless things have changed most US diesel is a much less refined product with "low sulphur" diesel only being offered in some areas. Most of the TDis on the road here would die if they were run on their normal stuff.

    Wouldnt touch a diesel myself. God awful things. Total fear of getting dodgy fuel and costing me a fortune in reapairs too. Much prefare to have a nice petrol, thats bought for fcuk all, and spend my cash on proper fuel rather than farm ioil.
