Diesel Cars May Be Coming Back!

Diesel cars and SUVs are looking to come back after a brief appearance many years ago due to the rise in gas prices. In the 1980's, 80 percent of the cars sold in the U.S. were diesel powered. The reason the precentage was so high was to adjust to inflation of gasoline prices which was about $3.15 a gallon and people were looking for a more cheaper and fuel efficient way to drive. In Europe half the cars sold are diesels; the U.S. cars sold was only about 3.5 percent. Dieseal development is continuing in Europe to make diesel cars more quiet and not put out such stinky pollution. Diesel fuel has more energy than regular gasoline, therefore can last longer. With current gas prices rising to $2.99 a gallon do you think that there will be an increase in the demand for diesel fuel due to the purchase of diesel cars and SUVs?
