Isn't the Dodge Viper engine an old truck unit that was diesel converted to petrol a long while ago?


... Diesel eill only catch on if there is a financial incentive, and with gad at $3-4 per gallon, there isn't one.

If I lived in the US, I would have a V8 for sure, no point not. Fuel in the UK id about $7-8 per gallon. Sucks.
