Next to gasoline, diesel is one of the more plentiful sources of transportation fuel used in the U.S. today. Yet while billions of gallons of diesel are used every year for locomotives, construction equipment and power generators, diesel-powered cars are few and far between. In a recent article, Edmunds.com outlined the reasons why.
