more diesel refining capacity is coming online by late 2010 into 2011. Also by then all 50 states will have the same diesel fuel specs. But by then both gas and diesel will be so high the difference will be within 10% of each other. Diesel might actually be cheaper than regular gas like a just a few years ago.

The price is diesel compared to gas right now is distorted but will even out over the next few years as refining capacity is adjusted. However it will probably be gas rising in cost instead of diesel falling. By 2010-2011, I wouldn't be too suprised to see $7 gas and diesel.

I agree with those that think the 2.0T would have been the better choice for the US instead of the 3.2 V6. But I know Audi is hesitant for marketing reasons of putting a "small" 4 cylinder engine when the competition is putting 6 cylinders, and the customer doesn't know any better when the Lexus sales guy tells a sucker "yeah, (snicker) that Audi Q5 only has a 4-banger in it!". Meanwhile, chip that 2.0T and it will smoke the Lexus.

Jack? It's the President. I need you.



"I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed
corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a
trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country."
Thomas Jefferson, 1812

"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. . . . corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed."
-- U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, Nov. 21, 1864
