New York AP reports oil companies will have ample diesel fuel for next year’s diesel cars, but only a small fraction of stations sell diesel now. GM plans to triple diesel output from 68,000 to 190,000 vehicles next year. Chrysler reportedly has a diesel model in development.
The piece covers World Almanac Q and A questions on a Washington landmark building and the Guggenheim question, then shifts to diesel fuel adoption. Industry sources expect ample diesel supply through 1990 with rising use in autos and more stations offering diesel, though retail access remains limited outside truck stops. Demand growth and cost advantages drive manufacturers and dealers to expand diesel availability for cars and trucks.
