HAGERSTOWN, Md. - Diesel engines mainly power trucks, buses and construction equipment in the United States, and they have long been scorned by environmentalists concerned about air pollution.

That dirty image is changing, however, and could spark renewed interest in diesel-powered passenger vehicles.

The auto industry is already transitioning to more advanced engine systems as new rules that went into effect Sunday require fuelmakers to produce a much cleaner diesel that is largely sulfur-free.

Tropical Bob thinks there ought to be a federal investigation of diesel fuel prices.

Diesel is 40 to 50 cents a gallon more than regular gasoline now; more than even premium gasoline. It used to be the cheapest motor fuel.

And you’re paying for diesel price gouging, as you enjoy falling gas prices.

Consider: Merchandise is transported using diesel fuel. Municipal and county vehicles burn diesel. Many school buses do. Same for military vehicles. Farm tractors need it to harvest. Commercial fishing boats use it, too.

You pay at the counter when these folks overpay at the pump.

I’m not sure who Tropical Bob is but he sure is mad about the diesel prices.
