If I don't vote Liberal this election (and I've voted Liberal in three of the last four), this will be one of the major reasons why. They seem to be completely uncomprehending of the realities of diesel. I've been considering purchasing a diesel car for the last year, for two primary reasons: they consume far less fuel than similar gasoline cars, often comparable to hybrids in terms of consumption, and their pollution meets the highest standards in North America or Europe. And under the Liberal plan, I'd be taxed more for fuel because I've chosen a high-efficiency, low-pollutant vehicle?
