Are You Ready For Diesel Yet?

Is the gas price high enough for you guys, or can you stand more
before you decide to get right with Mr. Compression Ignition?

Chrysler did have a turbine back in the early 60s but since the engine was
made in Italy the American public never bought into it also Congress had
something to do with squashing it.

Wrongasaurus....as usual. The BODIES of the Chrysler Turbine (loaner
test) cars were made in Italy...as were Dual-Ghias and most of the
Chrysler professional car (limo, hearse, etc.) line. The engines were
made in Warren, Michigan by the same people who now make Cruise Missile
engines at Walled Lake, MI.

From the site listed:

>>The operation of the Turbine Car is much the same as that of a car with a piston engine and an automatic transmission. To start it, place the transmission shift lever in the "Idle" location and push down to engage the "Park/Start" position. Turn the ignition key to the right and release it. Starting is automatic. Within a few seconds, the inlet temperature and tachometer gauges on the instrument panel will read about 1700 F and 18, 000 rpm, respectively, indicating that the engine is started.

The present performance and economy of the Turbine are comparable to a
conventional car with a standard V-8 engine. The engine will operate
satisfactorily on diesel fuel, kerosene, unleaded gasoline, JP-4 (jet
fuel), and mixtures thereof. And, even more interesting, it is possible
to change from one of these fuels to another without any changes or
adjustments to the engine. The users of the cars also will appreciate
the many other advantages of the turbine engine.

The cars were built at Chrysler Corporation's Engineering Research
Laboratories in Detroit. At the assembly area, the Chrysler-designed
car bodies, which are built by Ghia of Italy, were lowered onto the new
engines and chassis components. The turbine engines were built and
tested at Chrysler's Research Laboratories.<<

Walled Lake sucks.

But turbine gas mileage is awful and the turbine itself is very
expensive.

I liked the thing out of Batman Returns, whatever it was.
