You know, it might make diesels real cheap. Perceptions, that might have been getting better, will probably go back down the tubes if no one can sell them here anymore.
No intent to make anything political out of this.....but blame your friendly enviro-nazies and the EPA......

I like clean air as much as the next guy..but enough is enough....

ANd I think they have gone way overboard...and its costing us..........we could have cars getting far better mileage than we will ever see with gasser engines. The rest of the world can have them...why not us.
