GM you have more experience than me thats for sure when it comes to engines, but in my humble opinion all that about the cost of diesel is poppycock. It is less refined than gas, and according to motor trend magazine the newer low sulfur diesel is great from an emmisions stand point. The reason diesel is more pricey here is because of what you say about out capacity to refine being vastly weighted toward gas.
Which is precisely why you won't see these vehicles here. Because big oil and all their political sh!tbirds in their pockets of both parties have a situation here in which they are making astronomical profits, the highest they have ever seen and they will not change anything. I don't care if the country goes into a huge recession, the market crashes or war brakes out all over the world. They will not have their profits touched.
That is why we need to do it in the elections. We need to do it, thats all.
