All I can say, I had a Diesel car for three years;

Was it binary-driven for 16 hours per day?

No - but the engine compartment was only ever opened once every six

to work very reliably indeed.

(Swiss customs once asked me to open the bonnet - it was embarassing
since I didn't know how - but why would I ever want to?)
