Taking a walk in the neighborhood today and realized what I thought was a diesel smell. A Mercedes Sprinter passed me by, not an Amazon vehicle, just plain white, but was definitely diesel. Not sure if privately owned or a delivery vehicle, maybe not properly maintained due to the odor?
Sprinters, as I understand it, are considered commercial trucks, which are not held to the same CAFE/emission-standards as passenger cars.

I don't care about the 1 out of 50000 that buys a diesel BMW or Mercedes...but they sure don't help the situation.

We are not talking about truck-diesels and those Cummins power-plants in this thread, but regular automotive diesels...Common-rail, TDI, Bluetec, Skyactiv, etc...) Since you're around those trucks so much, then you should know that they are exempt from emissions regs......if you don't, then please take it kindly as a bit of constructive information from me).

That's not to say that truck-diesels have no regulations at all, but, yes, they are much more likely to belch out the more traditional pollutants than today's car-diesels.

Again, those are not the diesel vehicles we're talking about.
