In my case, I have reason to believe global warming is real and caused largely by the burning of hydrocarbons and want to do my part to help. I also feel the U.S. should tax gas until it reaches $6/ga like most of the rest of the world to discourage the consumption of a toxic non-renewable resource with the added tax proceeds going toward our health care. As a result, as much as I love BMW gasoline inline 6's, I will not buy a 1-series unless it has a diesel. I'll wait until the '09 model year and if there isn't one, I'll go elsewhere.
