These vehicles will meet California's stricter emissions standards and like other diesel powered vehicles, will emit 10-20% less CO2 than their gasoline counterparts as a result of their 20-40% greater fuel economy. Diesel technology has come a long way, making diesel vehicles not only cool - but green.
