Another problem is where to find diesel fuel; fewer than 5% of the nation's gas stations carry it. The diesel still emits more and blacker smoke than a gasoline engine-although, quite surprisingly, the smoke contains fewer polluting hydrocarbons and less carbon monoxide than gasoline exhaust. Finally, there is the matter of price: though quotations have not been firmly fixed, GM expects its diesel cars to sell for $750 to $840 more than an Olds powered by a conventional engine. Is there, nonetheless, a market? Probably. Mercedes-Benz introduced passenger diesels...

Citing Sohio's own figures, the California Air Resources Board says that even under "best case" circumstances, the Long Beach operation would add to the air about 1,140 lbs. of emissions per day-the equivalent of the exhaust from 38,000 cars. The "most probable" forecast is even darker: nearly 81,000 lbs. of added emissions per day, equivalent to the exhaust from 2.7 million autos...
Tires hum along the interstate while an afternoon sun reddens behind exhaust fumes. The natives in the back seat are restless. Bored with counting stalled vehicles and CB radio antennas, they have discussed Star Wars to a tatter. The day's second rendition of 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall has petered out at bottle No. 37. Now sullen silence prevails, punctuated only by stage whispers to the effect that some parents feed their kids, for cryinoutloud. Egg McMuffined for breakfast, Burger Kinged at lunch and Stuckeyed in between, the little ones are hungry again. For that matter...
...residents do monitor energy costs carefully. Advertising Salesman Charles McKeown listened approvingly to Carter's speech last week. Says he: "We have been very cognizant of saving energy. We put up awnings, caulked our windows and used exhaust fans instead of air conditioning last summer when the temperature was below 78°. We could consider solar energy. The tax incentive rang noisy bells in our heads-we are being clobbered on taxes." Mrs. Gibson plans to respond to Carter's challenge by calling in an architect to consult on insulation and on the hot water supply...
