Id pick a diesel over a gas engine any day for reliability. I wouldnt however pick a newer diesel because of stupid emissions equipment.

And gas prices wont stay where they are. The US production will start to slow then decline and prices will go up again.
Do you think a kill switch will significantly affect MPG on the insight & the pontiac vibe?
