16 hours would be the norm from southern Arizona to northern Nevada and way too often for my tastes. But since we're talking about comfort from a driver's position, I stand by the captains's chair for sheer comfort whether going up north to Reno or nearby to the local Olive Garden. For passengers, it's no contest. Most of my nieces and nephews prefer a minivan to their SUV (Durango).

At 16 hours, the cost of comfort, gas, and miles on one's vehicle starts to catch up the price of a simple plane ticket.

Bakit Gas mas comfort kaysa diesel?

In the US there isn't much diesel vehicles for sale unless you want to drive a F-350. Also, by gas I think he means fuel in general.

It's actually just CA that's strict with deisel. I believe private parties cannot own diesel vehicles here. Everywhere else, it's strict, but possible to own one.

Well alot of other states have adopted the CARB standards so that's why they dont sell alot of it. Diesel is still available for the 3/4 ton pick up trucks but because of the new diesel fuel mandated for 2007 in the US certain models will lose their diesel option.

DC will wait for the bluetec diesel engine to be available in the Liberty 2008 before coming out with it in other models. Engine makers are trying to meet the new requirements for low sulfur diesel fuel known as S15(ULSD) which requires that the fuel only have 15ppm of sulfur from the previous 500ppm and 5000ppm. Because of the low sulfur in the fuel automakers need to redesign fuel systems for diesel vehicles and petroleum companies need to put additives in the fuel to help with lubricity and inhibit corrosion and make changes to their refineries.

Cali does allow private parties to own diesel vehicles I see enough where I live.
