Go with diesel, not ethanol
The Editor, Sir:

Ethanol is not good for the environment and here in Sweden they are not using as much anymore.

The only thing it is good for is to make the petroleum industry owners richer! It doesn't stay in the tank.

The way of the future

In Western Europe, everyone pretty much drives diesel - the way of the future. It is cleaner; takes a lot less fuel, is more powerful than a gas motor, and offers better fuel economy.

I read sometime ago that in Germany, 70 per cent of BMWs sold were all diesel. Why is Jamaica always behind?

Let's keep the environment clean Jamaica!

I am, etc.,
