Yeah, diesel used to be terrible environmentally-speaking, but now it's actually very good. They've made big improvements over the years, between engine efficiency and that low-sulfur fuel they use now. That said, they're less convenient in some respects, which is going to be a barrier whether we like it or not.
- kaitnieks 17y agoIn what respects are they less convenient exactly?
- ramidarigaz 17y agoDiesel prices > gasoline prices.
- kaitnieks 17y agoYou're probably talking about USA and while the prices are higher here as well, that's only because of taxes which are bigger for diesel. By how much more does diesel cost in USA compared to petrol?
- ramidarigaz 17y ago$0.50 to $1.00/gal more.
- trafficlight 17y agoIn Montana right now, diesel is about $2.39/gallon versus $2.59/gallon for regular gas.

- amalcon 17y agoInfrastructure. It's somewhat harder to find a diesel gas station, and also somewhat harder to find a mechanic to work on a diesel. This is at least true in the U.S.
