A first class piece of writing. I love cars but have no experience of maintenance. I understood the article. Highly informative.

It's a good piece that clearly states what I've been saying for many years.
Diesel as a fuel is dirty and the only way to make it acceptable for use is to run a lot of cleaning technologies which in turn introduce complexity and unreliability.
