I used to take my old Voyager to Auto-x events, it was far from stock, but it held it’s own out there.

Where do they have an SUV?

Correct.

And that is the point almost everyone misses when having this discussion.

Average life of a road car is 11+ years.

I have a tightly curated twitter and rss feed that i use to gather all my news.

Now break that out per mile.

the diesel getting higher mileage means it emits less CO₂ per mile (people travel in miles, not btu) than gas.

No idea?

as far as people can tell

If you don’t think people could get hurt trying to direct/block traffic, I have a few bridges to sell you.

Considering diesel engines are held to stricter emissions than most passenger vehicles due to laws the EPA/CARB passed around 2010 on false data?

1. Climate change is a thing, you’re right. Part of it is the Earth’s natural cycle, part of it is caused by us. Don’t think going all electric will solve this issue, it’s far more complex than that, and electricity brings it’s own downfalls with it.

My guess is diesel will be phased out in the passenger car market in favor of the now *perceived environmentally conscious EV’s.

Would said person still be a cynic if they were 100% correct?: The EPA/CARB have been trying to do away with diesels for a long time, even falsifying data to do so: In October 2010, an article published in the San Francisco Chronicle exposed the California Air Resources Board (CARB), a department within the California…

The more we learn, tells us the EPA/CARB are lying: In October 2010, an article published in the San Francisco Chronicle exposed the California Air Resources Board (CARB), a department within the California Environmental Protection Agency, for overestimating diesel emissions by 340 percent. The worst part was that…

Ram haters are going to be upset to find they failed to read the article: FCA has decided to pull diesel from all of its passenger cars but is expected to keep diesel options for its commercial vehicles, including a range of its pick-up trucks in the US, such as the popular RAM 1500. 

So keep diesel in the heavy-duty applications where emissions aren’t as restricted and the fuel economy isn’t there, but eliminate it as an efficient power source for cars/light trucks and eliminate the great fuel economy of diesel engines with it?

Neutral: What’s diesel’s future look like?
