That's what
will be in the pumps a few years from now. Diesels are popular in Europe
because
gasoline costs four times what diesel costs. They will also be a good idea
for pilots
who fly to places where gas is hard to get, like some parts of Canada and
Alaska. As

makes an
O-whatever work well, and that fuel isn't significantly more expensive
than diesel,
diesels will not be common in U.S. GA aircraft.
