At least not Visteon, ie: the new 2.7L diesel Jag option, system controls, electronics and development is Delphi's???? Specs 206 Hp, 360 ft-lb. @1800 and 40.3 mpg overall and at steady state interstate 47.3 mpg. Everyday I run into new technology that would beclean enough to satisfy most Americans, but not the EPA?? Ie 2007 regs update. Someone besides our government is controlling the EPA?



Just because something gets 47.3 MPG doesn't mean it's any better than Unleaded Gasoline.

"Better" on your pocketbook -- yeah. But not better on the environment.

Diesel, by it's very nature, burns very very poorly. It's gotten better, but the EPA continues to outpace its' developments with new regulations.

Just some food for thought folks. This is a great country and I'd like to see it stay that way for our grand children.



I think that's the EPA's main concern....

Your grandchildrens 'right' to live in a world where they walk outside without getting acid rain on their heads is probably a little more important than their 'right' to buy cheap fuel.
