Diesel is a dirty word.

Hi,

 

Diesels have gone out of fashion ... and suddenly we have a drought.

 

After 9/11, aircraft were not allowed to fly over New York... and the temperature went up.

 

I thought the plan was to reduce/prevent global warning.

 

It was once thought that nuclear testing resulted in wet Summers ... unless it was a British test, which resulted if hot, sunny, Summers.

Hi,

There is now being introduced [via EU] an overriding test of emissions on all vehicles which will give a more exact mpg result than the manufacturers which can sometimes make claim to an unachievable consumption rate on their vehicles.I have just got a new VW Tiguan and have been told I will receive the figure as soon as available. They also say if I am not happy with the result I can change my vehicle. The reason being is that a different mpg figure could obviously incur a lot more spending on fuel and even put the vehicle in a higher class of road tax.

The govt. seem determined to get diesels off the road.

cheers

derek
