The diesels of today are even more efficient on fuel than the models of past years and that helps to reduce their carbon emissions, in some cases up to 30%.
Auto makers are also planning to take advantage of the low sulfur diesel fuel and the reduced sulfur emissions that will bring. If the diesel manufacturers continue with the strides they are making in improving the engines, and the impact they have on the environment, It will only make sense that more consumers will look towards them as a way to save money in the long run.
At the present time, diesel fuel is a little more expensive than gasoline, but that will most likely come down to its rightful price range, which is below gas. Diesel engines can have an impact on our economy, they do use less gas, have less parts to replace and a diesel engine will run forever if you take care of it. With the improvements that have been made, it may be worth your while to go and take a look at one.
