Word to that! Love the old Unimogs. They're a big anemic, though...most of the ones I see here are 2.5L gas engines..of course they're geared to climb up walls - and have, what 60mph top speed? Hmm.
There's a place in Canada doing Chevy 350 V8 conversions that says they'd do a Dodge/Cummins Turbodiesel for a little extra.
That's the poop, right there...300hp & 700ft/lbs torque from a tweaked Cummins in a 'mog.. Just the thing for the ranch. I'll have to get me one of those..

You get to know where they are when it matters. Not hard to find at all. The more remote the gasstation, the more likely they are to have diesel.
And if you're reeeeally in a bind, heating oil & kerosene are...the same damn thing.
I'm not even getting into the cooking oil or gasoline options. Yes Ive used gasoline in a diesel...its painful for you & the engine, but itll work in an emergency.
I loved the VW diesels...simplest car to work on I've ever experienced...once you get your head around the way the engines work.
Of course, GM is to blame for most Yankee's perceptions of diesel cars. Their 70s/80s attempt at diesel passenger cars & light trucks was abysmal & halfassed.... Seems fitting that they're the #1 opponent, at least in the article.
Thats what you get for driving a clapped out 4000. Looking at how little most geeks value their cars, its no wonder it eats oil. Yes I'm generalizing. I get off on it.
Just look at an Audi S4 or AllRoad...get with the future, baby!

Would it be okay if we discussed how to make your Toyota (or was it Saturn?) run on putrified penguin under-roos, while playing MP3s from the webserver in the trunk?

It's good to know that you don't need to have a solid grasp on our language to be a journalist...

Quick, bust out the Photoshop...
Albeit passive, and set for high speed action, not maneuvering the Porker in the parking lot.
Nothing is new...
