The current wave of hi-tech ultra-low emissions diesel engines has given the venerable oil-burner a rebirth in the passenger car market, and that's a good thing given the many appealing aspects of diesel power.
The huge reduction in emissions emitted by these workhorses arise out of the imposition of new EPA-standards, which require diesel refiners and importers to remove all but a fraction of the sulfur from fuel intended for roadway use. Doing so produces the Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) rating that this new class of clean-burning diesels requires.
