However , lets be honest , a diesel engine is really stone age
technology. The only thing it has going for it is fuel efficiency ,
thats it. If petrol engines ever match diesel in that the diesel engine
will vanish as quick as manufacturers can flog off their old models.
Look at it another way, only cars use petrol engines, all other forms of
energy needs are met by diesel. Some cars, all trains, all buses, all
lorries, all modern ships. Now if the technology is so stone age,
what's it's great pull and why aren't petrol engines used instead?
