I too believe that the jet fuel-burning diesels may be the optimal solution in the long term. What about the TCM "GAP Project" diesel (200 hp turbo, 2-stroke four)? I was sort of hoping that it would be an option for the Legacy, but my understanding is that it probably won't be ready in the timeframe needed. Having a diesel tractor used to bush hog the "north forty", I've painfully learned how intolerant diesels are to even miniscule amounts of water. I'm wondering how this problem/issue will be handled/resolved ...??? Anybody care to comment?
