Say what??? No disposal system in place for batteries??? Not at all what I've heard. Can you cite reference for that?
Personally, I enjoy diesels tremendously. A ride in my cousin's diesel sports coupe while I was visiting him in Germany back in the 90's convinced me they don't all have to be boring, noisy, smelly vehicles... dang, that thing was a hoot!! I wish my gasoline-powered vehicles had that kind of "get up -n- go"!
But I agree that the general public has different perspectives. I mean, just pumping the stuff can be a turn-off. I can still smell the fuel a couple of days after, even though I've washed... some stations provide disposable gloves, but not all of them. So I can understand how most folks wouldn't want to deal with that...
