That is exceedingly dumb. That's like saying gasoline is widely used
because people don't know you can buy a diesel automobile.

That actually is true as well. Most people don't.


I've never met a single adult in this country who believed there are
no diesel automobiles. I believe you're pulling this claim from a
sunshine-free zone.

There are very few diesel cars out there. Tons of trucks, but
the last time you saw a diesel midsize family sedan was?


Don't "debating-trade" your way out of this one. You said "people
don't know you can buy a diesel automobile." Prove it. You didn't say
people don't buy diesels. Two entirely different propositions.

I asked my sister - and she said "There are diesel cars still made?"
Then she thought and realized that Mercedes probably makes them.
Funny thing is, Mercedes doesn't anymore. Lol.

She's a pretty typical person, IMO.
