Default Fuel prices moving up, just in time for spring boating and driving?

They are also changing the level of sulphur that can be allowed in
diesel fuel which is going to make it more expensive.

Already, in MA and CT you can't purchase a diesel powered car and I
understand that NY and NJ are next on the list.

Dummies.



It is dumb. As much as I like big old big block gassers, the future is
going to be diesel or diesel electric.
I am sold on clean, quiet diesels. In boats they are workhorses. Mrs.E.'s
little Sprinter RV has a 154 hp Mercedes diesel in it and it is the sweetest
running, quiet diesel engine I've ever heard.

As I mentioned, Europeans by and large buy diesel powered vehicles. So why
do we have to screw it up on this side of the pond?
