In a recent Financial Times article, a story called "US motorists gear up to use greener diesel fuel" caught my eye. When I hear the word "diesel," I think of giant trucks barreling down I-95 with black, pollution-filled exhaust bursting out in puffs into the air. However, diesel fuel has become a popular octane choice at the pumps. A new form of diesel fuel is going on sale in the days to come. It is sure to be an alternative form of gas that is both environmentally friendly, while saving you money.
Bernard Simon says,"The clean-burning ultra-low sulphur diesel emits only 15 parts per million of sulphur, compared with 500 parts for existing diesel. Used in conjunction with the latest diesel engines, it greatly reduces the noise, smell and soot that have up to now turned many Americans off diesel."
Volkswagen offers various models of its cars that run on diesel gas. One of their most popular is the Turbo Diesel Beetle, which I test drove before purchasing my last vehicle. It seemed to have more power and wasn't as noisy as the regular Beetle, surprisingly. The article says that Mercedes-Benz is introducing a diesel-fueled E320 Bluetec Saloon next week as well as Honda, GM and Volkswagen who plan to sell more diesel-powered vehicles in the near future.
"Chrysler plans to introduce the US’s first full-sized, diesel-powered sports-utility vehicle early next year in the form of a diesel version of its Jeep Grand Cherokee." Here in South Florida, SUV's are very popular, so this offers an alternative to the standard fuel model. Diesel fuel "offers 30-45 percent more fuel economy than petrol."

The content you have provided is pretty interesting and useful and I will surely take note of the point you have made in the blog.
A few days back I was browsing the Internet as I was worried about my car performance and wanted a product that could restore the MPG to what it was when I bought my car. I found this great site power enhancer which sells a variety of automotive products to boost vehicle performance. I found exactly what I was looking for and saw great results with their product. I was also very happy with the quick delivery of the product.
I thought this information might be useful for anyone looking to boost their vehicle performance and restore the lost power and MPG.
