Sauna is hot and I'm going to enjoy! java script:emoticon(':cheers:')
I don't know how many Chinese miners had to die because of this!

The problem in the US is that in the Northeast and California, there are mandates for low sulfur fuel and it is not yet available. I think by 2008 it will be. The rest of the country can drive diesels (more accurately buy new). But these areas represent 50% of the BMW market so it isn't worth bringing them into the US.

Of course it's better today. But the Industry has the technology for "clean" cars for years, for decades to be accurate, and is not using it.
There are bigger problems than cars that harm the environment, so I really don't worry about cars too much.?
If I would, I wouldn't be driving a V8, allthough my V8 is "cleaner" than the first cars I drove in my life...?

But as we all know, its much easier to go after the individual consumer than after big corporantions with a strong lobby and much money to give to politicians.
