[QUOTE="prodigy, post: 706330, member: 42186"] I think it's just a study by some university students on the feasibility, that's about it. It will need some massive action by the government to kickstart this BioPro diesel. If they're serious about diesel, they would have at least upgraded the diesel to Euro 4 by now. Reality is, most diesels are used for commercial reasons such as fishing, industrial equipment and industrial vehicles which does not require Euro 4. Us diesel car owners represent a miniscule percentage of the nation's consumption and there's absolutely no reason for the government to push for Euro 4 urgently. Wouldn't say they won't push for it but not so soon. Besides, nobody's gonna bear the cost of upgrading equipments to facilitate Euro 4, not in these times where our nation's finances are kinda on a deficit. Lastly, it seems the government's is moving towards hybrid/electric vehicles, which is another stumbling block towards cleaner diesel. They'd rather splash money to facilitate and increase the use of EV's. [/QUOTE]
