It is really frustrating, as a consumer, to see cars and planes sold abroad
with the latest technology, getting 30% better fuel economy, and the same
products are not available here, because the manufacturers have the attitude
that US consumers don't care about fuel efficiency.

When you look at the increased range and payload possible with the DA40 with
a diesel engine, due to its significantly lower fuel consumption, you'd be
crazy to buy anything but a diesel, unless there are issues with the newness
of the engine.

Mike,

I'm surprised there isn't more interest in the diesel version in the US.
What percentage of DA40s sold in Europe are diesel vs. gas?


It is not offered in the US. Simple as that.
