Ärende: We told you so, didn't we?
==================================
TM>> Well, I have only one car (2011 Ford Focus), it takes me where I
TM>> want, with what I want to carry, and I get great milage. (0.5
TM>> liter/10Km, which is about 47Miles/USG ?). ANd it's a diesel.

 RB> That's 5L/100 km, about average for a smaller diesel car.

RW> Ahhh, and have you added the prerequisette urea to the urea tank yet?

 RB> No idea what you're talking about. Or was that a joke?

its a ford... piss on 'em... ;)

RW> Yeup, you get about 20mpg better than I do, but then I don't have to
RW> pay the extra price for fuel and change oil and filters as often as
RW> you do.

 RB> Roy, Torbjorn lives in Norway, so I have no idea what the diesel vs
 RB> gasoline prices are there. All I can say is that diesel is
 RB> _cheaper_ than gasoline in Germany, exclusively because of a lower
 RB> tax. The price would be about the same as that for gasoline without
 RB> the tax break. That's one of the reasons diesel cars are so popular
 RB> in Germany - they make up around a quarter of all new cars sold
 RB> here.

it used to be that way with diesel here until the petroleum companies saw a
chance to frak the customers when katrina went thru new orleans... they hiked
up the price of diesel so that it was much higher than gasoline so they could
make more on the truckers delivering all the goods that are trucked in
everywhere... the price of diesel is still higher than gas by at least 10 or 20
cents a gallon in most places... it was a lot higher than that... if i were
still driving a diesel vehicle, that price jump would have forced me to use
another vehicle... especially considering that the main reason we even had a
diesel vehicle was for the lower fuel cost...
