Comment Comment by rob74 Has the anti-Diesel hysteria reached its peak yet? Some food for thought:- gasoline direct injection engines produce much more harmful particulate matter than current diesel engines (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline_direct_injection#Emis...), plus some carcinogenic gases like benzoapyrene.- a lot of the particulate matter emitted by cars comes from brake and tire wear, which even electric cars have (https://www.greencarcongress.com/2016/04/20160418-pm10.html).So blaming it all on Diesel engines is a bit short-sighted... parent rob74 7 years ago
- gasoline direct injection engines produce much more harmful particulate matter than current diesel engines (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline_direct_injection#Emis...), plus some carcinogenic gases like benzoapyrene.

So blaming it all on Diesel engines is a bit short-sighted...
