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. This helps us to make better fuel economy and good emissions.

Light-weighting becomes a virtuous cycle, Edison2 notes, with a lighter chassis needing a smaller drive train, a lighter suspension and so on.
