DaimlerChrysler's Mercedes-Benz unit wins a Ward's 10 Best Engines award in the first year of availability of its new CDI 3.2L inline 6-cylinder turbodiesel. As with Audi's FSI, the Mercedes diesel employs high-tech "direct" fuel injection and a host of other sophisticated electronic controls to create a diesel engine that generates spectacular torque -- the portion of engine power production most important for acceleration -- and almost 40% better fuel economy than a similar-size gasoline 6-cylinder engine.

EPA created the Midwest Clean Diesel Initiative to reduce emissions from older, existing diesel engines not covered by EPA's stringent standards for cleaner fuels and new, cleaner engines. MCDI estimates that more than 3 million diesel engines in the Midwest would benefit from the use of cleaner fuels and idle-reduction and diesel-retrofit technologies and strategies. These include rebuilding, re-powering, replacing, refueling and retrofitting these engines with emission control devices. Already, the public-private partnership has undertaken more than $30 million in projects, affecting 350,000 engines, and reducing air pollution by more than 3.5 million pounds per year.

While Google remains strong, two other search engines examined in that study, AltaVista and AllTheWeb, were purchased by Yahoo! in early 2004. MSN was not a major player at that time, and Yahoo! China did not exist. The present study not only provides up-to-date information on the search engine coverage issue, but ... sheds light on the question of whether search engines have changed over time.
