6. Should I Offer Diesel Fuel?

The automobile manufacturers will have to comply with new, higher miles per gallon requirements by our government. In the short run the gap will be filled with the new clean burning diesel engines that are here now and available. The rest of the world has already ‘gone diesel’.

A Volkswagen Jetta can achieve mileage rates that compare favorably with a Prius without any of the battery concerns with higher mileage such as the expense of replacing the batteries. Whether you limit your diesel offering to car diesel or wish to have a separate offering for large trucks depends on your market and the size of your lot.

Car diesel alone should lift sales over 10%.
