Jeep has diesels here in europe, so does chevy, and Opel (gm brand as well), I have been driving a ford focus diesel, everything here is diesel, we just dont use them in the states. In the states we are convinced that diesel is "dirtier" because its black and smells terrible (well to most people). They don't understand that most of the black is just soot, dirt, nothing... It looks bad, smells bad so it must be worse than the clear not so smelly stuff right? They like to say because they are green they go Diesel, truth is the price. Virtually no hybrids though... strange.

Is the skimmer pulling gunk yet?
I will let you read this for yourselves. The reference is posted below, but you will need to scroll down to the third article there. This makes me hold my breath around diesels now, I used to not mind them so much.

<span style="color: #22596f">A COMPOUND discovered in the exhaust fumes of diesel engines may be the most strongly carcinogenic ever analysed, say Japanese researchers. They warn that a major source of the chemical is heavily loaded diesel-engines, and that it could be partly responsible for the large number of lung cancer cases in cities.
The compound, 3-nitrobenzanthrone, produced the highest score ever reported in a Ames test, a standard measure of the cancer-causing potential of toxic chemicals.</span>

Its a bunch of crap. The Earth is just cycling. There is too much evidence proving this, like the ice caps. When they drill down 1000s of feet, it shows different temp changes from thousands of years ago. Some polition is getting rich of it, thats why it stays around.
