That's a Renault engine, then. Personally, I don't like diesel; it's 
good for buses, trucks, trains and boats, but it lacks a certain appeal. 
On the other hand, it's not a luxury we'll be able to afford much longer.

Hydrogen engines seem to have lost the momentum they had a few years 
ago, and even ethanol has its drawbacks if it means that whole swats of 
rainforest gets cut down, or that food prices rise.

Unfortunately, public transport here is just not an option.
