Audi banking on Gen 2 3.0L TDI diesel for US sales; calls for a “fair shot” for diesel

Green Car Congress

Do they receive HOV access for their improved fuel economy and ultra low emissions? In fact in 6 of the states, diesel fuel is penalized with additional state taxes. So diesel fuel gets taxed twice or penalized twice at the federal and state level. TDI clean diesel represents almost 25% of Audi and Volkswagen US sales.
