Never understood that one either. I find the smell of diesel fuel and diesel exhaust MUCH less noxious than gasoline or gas exhaust. And I felt that way LONG before I ever thought of owning a diesel-engined car.

You're not likely to ever die from carbon monoxide poisoning in a diesel either! So if you're thinking of closing your garage door and kissing the world goodbye, don't try it with a diesel. You'll most likely just get a very bad headache, followed by years of therapy!
