re: Diesel conspiracy.....
Gentlemen!
1) It was not so long time ago, that the diesel was 50% of the gas. Reason? Diesel is
much simpler to produce than gas. They have increased the cost of diesel to match
the gasoline prices. Now, the cost of diesel is even higher than gasoline (.... since the diesel
cars have better milleage).....!!!!
Audi said that the reason for them to bring their super duper Diesel here is: the Americans
are now ready for it. We were ready for it last 30 years!!!Who does not want to save money?
Tell me? Now it came so far that we are talking "no money", but mankind survivor on this planet.
2) I do not understand, where the difference is between European drivers and American, when it comes
to save the energy, lower the pollution and still manage to enjoy your car....Are they made from
different dough? No, they are not! They make their politicians listen to them much better than here.
But this is not the only one difference!
3) I knew a cab driver here, who 17 years ago had to sell his cab license to pay for his diesel car repairs.
That diesel engine was made here in North America. The Manufacturer - in spite of the mechanic's
proofs - that the engine was a lemon, ignored the whole thing. I believe this was another factor, slowing the
diesel train.
What is puzzling, that other car manufacturers who sell diesel in Europe ( ie: Lexus!, Honda ) are not selling it here.
The Smart car, which was sold in Canada with diesel, now (in 2008) is sold with gasoline engine!!!
"Smart without Diesel is Stupid!"
4) Another point here - which is allowing the conglomerates to do what they want -might be the American buyer.
( Raising the cost of diesel above the gas prices, as one example, selling gas at fixed prices accross
the continent without any punishement, not paying taxes from oil ( DO NOT MIX IT WITH GAS) - that
belogs to all citizens, since it is natural resource of the country and not THE individual incorporated
company. (.... read " Who owns America")
5) ALSO:Just go to parks and see the mess people leave behind them!
Paper cups, plates, paper, plastic and glass bottles...It looks like the people in general have the motto:
"after us = the flood"...they do not care about the future of this country, continent, EARTH!
Gentlemen, I have to go...all the best!
