Smell vs stink, diesel has a much more pervasive odor because it doesn't evaporate as fast, volitility I think is the term. You don't get anywhere near twice the mileage and the government will back me up on the smog issue. If you drove a gas car as slow as a diesel it would be even more comparable. And the higher compression with increased blowby requires twice the oil changes. So post on this BB that you think 20k is OK for an oil change interval and see what the response is.
And I'm suprised you didn't mention the other diesel myth, longer engine life.
And what's with the baby seal comment? Your attempt to provoke hysteria shows the weaknes of your experience. I've been selling diesel cars since 1978. VWs, Peugeots, Audis, BMWs (524td by favorite all time diesel), Merecedes, Oldsmobiles, you name it. I said I thought a TDI was a decent car. What offended you about that?
