Maybe I'm just being stubborn. I'm not going out of my way to procure and install diesel badging just to suit people who weren't paying attention anyway. It's straight piped, pretty obvious from the sound that it's a diesel. I know there are a lot of idiots in the world, and I definitely have my moments, but I'll just go to fuel stations where they assume I know what my truck burns and what pump I'm pulling up to.
Around here you are likely to get bashed by environmentalists for having a diesel - you are better off being one step ahead and put up a biodiesel sign with lots of butterflies on it. You've got to keep one step ahead of the buggers even if you do use dino...
