Thanks for the interesting article Wendy. I have a
question. The EPA has since required sulpher
content of diesel fuel to be further reduced to .015
PPM by 2002.

How will this removal of lubrication from diesel
fuel, effect performance, fuel mileage, and
longevity of diesel engines?

I understand it will cost refineries 4 Billion
dollars to comply with these EPA regulations.
No doubt more refineries will be forced to close
down. 13 refineries have already closed in
California alone.

I also understand these EPA regulations will add
$.25 per gallon to fuel cost. Any comments
appreciated.
