After spending a lot of time in London, I am glad Americans don't embrace diesel like they do in Europe. The place just reeks of diesel and 2 strokes.

- Someone1234 12y agoWith all due respect have you spent any time in dense American cities? They aren't exactly smog free... Or is your complaint that you prefer the smog from gas over the smog from diesel? Regardless there are a lot of great arguments against diesel in this thread (e.g. increased cost Vs. MpG, maintence cost + additional car cost Vs. gas, and so on), this argument ("the smog!") doesn't really feel like one of them. I've spent a lot of time in London AND American cities, and neither are pleasant. I count the days until most cars are electric and we can breath again. Even hybrids seem like a marked improvement over gas or diesel (in particular during traffic jams).
