[Tigers] Gas Mileage & diesels

[CoolVT at aol.com]

With the very reduced sulphur in the fuel, the new diesels are  accepted in 
something like 47 states with all states accepting them by the end  of the year.
Comsumer reports recently did a good test between a Mercedes E  
class....gasoline vs diesel.  I think they said the diesel was only about  $1,500 more than 
the gas job.  They claimed with the performance and lack  of noise, there was 
almost no telling the 2 apart expect the gas model did make  more power and 
the diesel got better mileage.  I guess the diesel felt  sluggish, but it was 
being compared to other semi-luxury cars which were pretty  fast...for example 
the BMW 5 series.
They still haven't reported on the winter starting or the  maintenance which 
is something that I would like to see. Yes, one of the Jeeps  is available 
with that Mercedes designed engine this  year.
