[@terencejay8845]

My UK 2005 Ford 2-litre Mondeo diesel gets 55mpg (UK Gallon). My '98 Passat 1.8-litre petrol gets 34mpg. But, the UK Gov has decided that petrol and diesel car production must stop in 2030, with some exceptions up to 2035. This is despite the glaringly obvious lack of infrastructure for electric vehicles here and the unworkable charge times. The revenue raised on fuel-duty here is colossal, so that loss will be passed on for electric cars to recoup.

[@thebones]

@Edmond Schwab 'they' that is the government, can easily stop someone running whatever they decide is no longer acceptable to be driven. In U.K. there is an annual M.O.T. if the car doesn't meet the reg's then it is no longer legally driveable. If you continue to drive it illegally then the driver is no longer insured (a major problem if you hurt yourself or someone else, maybe a family member). If the police stop you then you will be fined or maybe go to prison for repeat offences and the car could be seized. Happily there is no 'grandfather clause' in the U.K. we've mostly moved on from laws based on outright racism.

I just spent $1,000 replacing 8 glowplugs in a GM 6.6, ( 4 were bad and the other 4 untrustworthy). About 150,000 miles on the truck. For $2,000 you can buy a rebuilt gas motor. A diesel will last twice as long but it will likely cost cost over 2 times as much overall. Twice as expensive when new, added maintenance, more than twice as much to replace when worn out.

Torque vs. Horse power simplified.. Torque is how much weight the engine can push. Horse power is how fast and for how many rpms can the engine push that weight..

[@robertborchert932]

Diesel engines are under fire. Political fire. Europe has found that when fuel is taxed into oblivion, the diesel engine is king. It's just more efficient. The media has been a key player in the political maelstrom. Look. Politicians are smart, but not too intelligent.The big push is electric vehicles. Diesels were in the way. Think about that. Despite what you've been told about Volkswagen diesels, I can attest to their cleanliness. The tailpipes of a VW are cleaner on the inside than the outside. Period. A gasoline engine must run rich when cold. Thus, a gasoline engine has soot in the tailpipe. Electric vehicles are nice, they are promising. But, we need to update our electric infrastructure first. Thanks for a brilliantly done video, Scotty. I enjoyed it.

Why do you think the Feds forced Volkswagen to buy back literally millions of diesel cars they'd already sold in America? The domestic auto industry & the US gov't want literally ALL automobiles to be gasoline. If so much as 10% of the cars on American roads become diesels, then it's a threat to the gas car marketplace. People will realize a car equipped with a diesel engine is much more powerful & more reliable than a comparable car with a gas engine. If that trend takes hold, the demand for gasoline cars & for gasoline itself drops DRASTICALLY. "They" want to maintain the current status quo & keep things just the way they are: PROFITABLE. Tangible progress in the form of increased efficiency, increased reliability, & lowered long term operating & repair costs?!?! Oh no, anything but that! ! Don't disturb the balance! It's like comparing the household light bulb with LEDs. The industry doesn't want to progress toward improved reliability & reduced operating cost for car owners, because it means far less profitability & lost jobs. In a similar fashion industry leaders pushed to delay the development of a newer, brighter LED that would replace the conventional, outdated light bulb. Reducing the average 60 watts per bulb electrical consumption down to 5 times less with an LED (12 watts per bulb) was a major threat to the multi-billion dollar profitability from sales of electricity, for utility companies nationwide. Not only that but it also meant obsolescence of the light bulb. So instead of the American Public having to replace bulbs around the house every 3 months, the major light bulb producers (General Electric, Westinghousr, Sylvania, Philips, etc) could expect 3 or 4 years to pass before the average American would buy bulbs again, in the case of the LED Never forget just how badly progress really stinks for the greedy. We would've been driving fuel cell powered cars (converting everyday tap water into hydrogen gas & into electricity) & have houses powered by their own windmill, solar cell, & overnight power supply combonations as far back as the 1960s if it weren't for the death grip that Big Oil holds over the entire economy. And it should be very obvious that the auto giants have been their willing conspirators the entire time. Never forget just how badly this sick game is rigged. It is the underlying cause of our ecological/ environmental ruin, incalculable cost to a wide range of animal & plant life, numerous cancers in humans & various other health issues such as asthma & pulmonary disease _This is what Jehovah says, the One who formed the Earth & made it to be inhabited; who did not form it simply for nothing; who did not leave it to fall. . ._ ~Isaiah 45:18 God is bringing to ruin those ruining the Earth ~Revelation 11:18

I had a 1953 Mercedes diesel. It had a four speed on the column and rode like a dream. It would smoke like a chimney but had 3 badges on the grill which meant it had 300,000 miles on it.

He said "I hauled my 72 GMC to the coast on a trailer to my son's house, used less fuel and drove faster than the old Jimmy ever went". The only down side is the lift pump or electronics on the injector pump usually fail faster than the pump itself. My 99 Cummins bought in 2012 hauls and tows very well. The only bad part is fuel prices since January 20, 2021...
