Default Re: What happened to the gasoline engine option?

Why do you hate diesel???

If you hate the smell go with WVO .

If you think its messy, move to oregon were they will pump it for you .

If you think its noisy ..... the van is probably just as noisy no matter if it is gas or diesel.

I was under the impression that it was a popular option. Some people hate diesel.

Also, I thought the mpg was not much worse than the V6 diesel.

If the Sprinter were approved for pure biodiesel, I would find that very attractive - especially if pure biodiesel was easy to find.

I will be in Portland, Oregon for the NORML convention next month , but unfortunately I am flying in and will not need a vehicle.
