I read this recently and I thought you gas guys might find it interesting!

1. The Army, Navy and Marines all use diesel
2. The trucking, mining, aviation, railroad, construction and maritime industries use diesel.
3. The U.S. Coast Guard uses diesel
4. A gasoline engine needs large amounts of fuel to get it started, (think of choke). If you do a lot of stop and go driving, you will never EVER get its estimated fuel economy.
5. A diesel is more reliable because it doesn't have to deal with a spark ignition system.
6. A diesel vehicle holds its value better than a gasoline engine!
7. It's easier to turbocharge/supercharge a diesel engine.
8. Gasoline engines produce DEADLY amounts of carbon monoxide, whereas diesels produce little CO.
9. The best batteries are 85% less energy dense than diesel fuel.
10. Diesel DOMINATED the 24 Hours of Le Mons!

Fun fact: The U.S. uses more gasoline than the rest of the world COMBINED!!!

Posted a few of the reasons why I drive a diesel as a daily driver. Just thought it was interesting, hoping maybe someone else thought it was cool/interesting as well. Not dissing gasoline engines at all!
