They will be soon. We need an alternative to petrol in the period between the petrol engine and the hydrogen fuel cell. Diesel fits that role

ed, Diesel is processed the same way as petrol in an oil distillery, unless you are talking about organic 'diesel'

From what I understand when you distill crude oil you produce more diesel to petrol. But yes, diesel can be made organicly too at a much lower cost to organic petrols.

Probably because the one which doesn't have a boxer engine is a base spec one. Horizontally Opposed engines cost a lot more to make than Inline engines.

personally if you personafied a boxer engine it would be up there in the leagues of cameron diaz etc, apart from the turbo bolted to them, they are the best thing ever produced.
oops, little over excited
