It sure feels that way sometimes.


I don't understand why we can't get more diesel vehicles over here. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Having rented a Peugeot 407 HDi (Turbo Diesel), 2.L, 6 speed while in Spain this summer, I was amazed at the performance it had... but more importantly, the mileage it got for a sedan that size.

With 4 people and luggage, we averaged around 38 MPG highway/city driving combined.... and I don't pussyfoot around on the highways either.... average speed was around 90 MPH. Roughly 500 miles on 13 gallons of diesel <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> (although it was about $8 per gallon) <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

Can someone give me a good reason WHY we don't have more choices for diesel vehicles here in the USA. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
