Diesels have a reputation for being dirty and smelly, releasing clouds of soot loaded with ash, carbon monoxide, and silicates into the air. But Volkswagen claims TDI Clean Diesels are different, removing over 95% of these harmful particles from their exhaust. But can a diesel really be clean? To find out, the new Touareg TDI squared off against a traditional diesel for an unexpected comparison.
Well the burning of any fossil fuel isn't clean (like "clean coal"). I still would take my TDI over ANY auto in the US because I use, at a MINIMUM, half the fuel as everyone else. It's just a shame we haven't used/had them widely over here. It really is the best option until we get away from fossil fuel burners altogether.
