It probably has a lot to do with the oil companies. There is no reason why they can't make a low emission smaller diesel. You don't see any gas semi's on the road. If the same R&D was put into a passenger diesel as a large diesel, it would be possible to have more diesel cars and light trucks. I worked in a shop that built winch decks on new semi's. I was amazed that the trucks had absolutely no black smoke and the exhaust stack was perfectly clean, as if the truck had never been running. Maybe the cost to develop this technology is the inhibiting factor. Diesel pick ups cost a lot more than gas. Diesel cars that are way more expensive might not sell. A lot people don't like the smell of diesel. Maybe trucks like the diesel ranger were ahead of their time. Dave
