For the love of god why are we the only country not to build more diesels? I don't under stand.... Can someone give me a good explanation? I don't get it. Diesels are the way to go IMO.

The reason we don't is because the gas companies pretty much own this country and they can get more money out of gas sales without so many diesels. IMO

agreed eh I am offering another option too eh My 6V53 twin turbo DD they are tank and bus and vocational/ commercial engines that are awesome....BUT HEAVY and wide. Easily a match against the Cummins I-6 except in fuel mileage when hot rodded. Just a thought eh, but I am a lunatic too
