Ravi.
Diesel has high sulphur, so the answer is to ban diesel cars? What about petrol having lead in it? Was the answer to ban petrol cars? Or to regulate kind of petrol being sold?

I know members in TBHP talk technically but in reality Diesel cars pollute too much in India. This is main reason to phase out Diesel cars.
What is too much? Diesel cars in India meet Euro III standards, with Euro IV coming up. This is with Indian diesel. There is no such thing as zero pollution, there is always an emission, the question is how much. So what standard do you propose?

By the way, do you believe that diesel cars meeting Euro III pollute too much, and petrol cars are OK? The kind of thinking that leads to banning diesel cars also leads to banning petrol cars.
