Not Your Father's Diesel
|
In your father’s day, diesel cars were known to be rancorously noisy, stinky, low on go, and possibly even a no start on a cold winter day. Today’s diesels have cleaned up their act. Smoke from the tail pipe is vastly reduced. Only the slightest workmen chatter is detected at idle and power delivery is up. They start in all weather conditions and deliver very good fuel economy. The diesel is dependable as a dad and has the fuel economy for today and even some quick moves for tomorrow! Mercedes-Benz offers the E320 diesel. The price of this car starts at about $52,000. It gets about 35 miles per gallon on the interstate. At the moment, this diesel does not meet the emission requirements in the states of: California, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, or Vermont, This car is very expensive for the average driver. An affordable and economical diesel will be available in the Mercedes Smart Car.
.jpg) Volkswagen offers the Jetta and Golf with diesel power. The prices of these cars start at about $17,000. Both cars achieve close to 45 miles per gallon. As with the Mercedes offering, the Jetta and Golf presently do not meet the emissions standards in the states of: California, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, or Vermont. Future VW diesel offerings will meet the emission standards of all 50 states. .jpg) The diesel offerings in the United States are limited because of emission requirements. New technology and higher fuel economy will expand the number of diesel powered vehicles coming to the U.S. in the near future. |
