I am interested in using bio-deisel fuel instead of gasoline. The hardest part seems to be finding a diesel - engine car to buy. I dont want a truck, but we cant make due with a small car either. Would Canada have better options? I live in NY

Well, Mercedes sells the E-Class with a diesel engine.
I believe Chrysler also sells the Liberty with A CRD Diesel engine too. I think they were working on a Grand Cherokee version with a diesel engine too.

Not really, as most Canadian cars are the same as US models.
Honda actually has a diesel-powered Accord in Europe, but because US has no market for diesel cars, they don't bring it over.
Maybe they'll change their mind... Right now in San Francisco, diesel #2 is 3.05, and regular unleaded 87 is 3.35 at the cheapest places. Add to that diesel cars get more mileage... Fuel savings add up quickly.
We have bio-diesel and ultra-low-sulfur diesel too, but those are harder to find.

I've always heard the Mercedes engines, even the ones from the 80's, made good candidates for the Biodiesel fuel.
