ABE Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Ottawa, Canada Posts: 1,154	Ford announced a while ago that it is not looking at diesels for cars. Their view was that advances in gas engine design for direct injection and stratified air charge (compression ignition using gas) would result in economies comparable to diesels without the problem of the diesel exhaust. Some more exacting definitions here: Stratified charge engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Ford appears to be supporting the rumor that the new F150 for 2009 will come with a diesel. __________________ Art 2000 Taurus SEL Wagon 3.0 Vulcan (daily driver) 1993 Taurus GL Wagon 3.8 Essex 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis LS 5.0 1986 Chevrolet 3/4 ton pickup 4x4 350 with turbo400 and 208 transfer case 1978 Chevrolet 3/4 ton pickup 4x4 custom 6.2 na diesel with turbo400 and 203 transfer case Planning 2008 Taurus X in a year
