Sorry I must have misunderstood what he meant

Just think we could sell that to the fashion industry too. But I think we need a marketing meeting to come up with a better name (we can't use Olay - already used)

Ever seen the South Park episode - big cloud of smug

Don't leave that there - I'll take it to bits!

I thought Jim changed the subject. He is sly though and often you cannot be sure.

So what is the difference in the actual production of gasoline versus diesel? Diesel is simpler and more efficient to refine, right? But by how much?
My daily driver is an old Volvo 240 which gets about 21 mpg. My Sunday ride is an 84 300d which gets about 25. Given that gas around here is about $2.25 a gallon and diesel is about $2.50, they end up costing me about the same.
But what is the actual difference, environmentally speaking, between the production of the two fuels?
FWIW, I've been tinkering with this Volvo for about three years so it's running pretty clean. I just got this Mercedes a couple of months ago. It'll be a while before I've got it up to peak efficiency.
