Diesel engines also tend to be much louder, and drivers often leave them running when gas engines would be turned off (e.g., at a drive-in), leading to more noise pollution.

What they actually mean is that there will be “less” dependence on foreign oil imports if we use a significant fraction of diesel fueled pass cars and such on-highway vehicles (18-wheeled semi market is already dominated by diesel engines). This is mainly because Diesel engines are approximately 30% (relative) more fuel efficient than relevant gasoline engines. More fuel efficiency means, less fuel usage; hence, less crude oil imports eventually. Hope this helps.

Not really as detailed as I was looking for but maybe you can answer my questions? Why can gasoline not have as high of compression? If gasoline did have the same high compression could you inject it and it be ignited in the same manner? If it could be done in the same manner which would be more efficient and so on?

That was a very interesting article, breifly informative. What is even more interesting though is jonathan’s need to point out incorrect grammar while using both incorrect spelling and grammar… yes jonathan there are two “m”s in the word “grammar”.
