VW diesel car ?
Yes, my Jetta and with the new low sulfur fuels it's clean too. I can't
believe the US car makers can't improve on it. They've lost their
technical ability. So much for American schools.

Sales of diesel cars in Europe account for nearly 50% in some countries. France
I believe has the highest percentage of new car sales.

Modern diesels are nothing like the ones that traditionally got a bad reputation
in the USA, and we've had 'clean diesel fuel' for quite some time here.

And not one single vehicle that can get 50mpg! The new 35mpg goal is a joke.
