Just now on CNBC
Watching "morning call" on CNBC this morning I just heard Bush calling on Congress to extend a 4000 dollar tax incentive to anyone who buys a Diesel powered vehicle
Not just the hybrid stuff.
Lets hope that happens!!!

can we get a grandfather clause on that to include those who currently drive a diesel??
$4000 would go a long way towards more mods...

I'm assuming this would be a deduction instead of a credit.
A $4000 credit would wipe out 60% of my federal tax bill and cost the treasury big bucks overall.
If this comes to pass, especially as a credit, there will a waiting list years long to get a TDI or a Benz CDI. I don't think folks will step up from 1/2 ton trucks to 3/4 ton just to get the credit as the cost will exceed the amount of the credit.
I'm suprised Bush would do this. It would lower oil sales for all his friends.

Not many. I pretty much hate this state.

If this does ever pass, I'm sure someone will try it. The IRS mostly goes on trust and only requires a lot of the paperwork to be produced if there is an audit.
The whole point of the credit is to get people to buy new diesel vehicles instead of gassers.
