Due to insatiable demands, oil prices in the global market are continuously rising. In effect, gasoline prices in the local or domestic market are also high. Despite this, a good thing arises. Because of new technology, diesels are now more acceptable by the consuming public.

According to J.D. Power of J.D. Power and Associates, from today's 3.2 percent share of first-time registrants, diesel will rise to make up 15 percent in the United States by 2015. One determinant of this prediction is Mercedes-Benz's make up of three models, namely E-, ML- and GL-Class, which will have a 3.0-liter, turbocharged, six-cylinder diesel.

This strategy is not the first for Mercedes. Daimler-Benz AG, the owner of Mercedes-Benz has sold diesels in the US since 1960. During that period, a very significant 80 percent of its U.S. sales were diesels. However, gasoline prices were cheap then. Consequently, demand for diesels diminished so the company, in 1999, stopped selling them.

Mercedes returned back its commitment to diesel in 2004. And in 2008, the car brand will roll out its Blue Tec line of clean diesels. Glad to say, those power plants will be legal in all 50 states.

The new diesel has a particulate filter. Only low-sulfur fuel must be burned by the engine. The diesels really aim to help its customers as they will have a system that augments urea to the exhaust in 2008 to further clean up emissions. This, in effect, makes diesel engines as clean as gasoline engines.

This generation's diesels really drive away diesel misinterpretation. Diesel's image is noisy and smelly. But in the case of the 2007 Mercedes-Benz ML 320 CDI, the engine was not noisy, nor does it smell bad. You will experience something that sounds like a dragon under the hood only at start-up or initial throttle tip-in. This is what makes it different from a gasoline burner.

And because of the seven-speed transmission (a five-speed with two overdrives), the ML 320 CDI purrs at 65 mph and turns less than 2000 revolutions.

The 2007 Mercedes-Benz ML 320 CDI earned several praises when it was evaluated for two weeks. It does not have a low range. Rather, it has hill-descent control and an air-ride suspension that helps remove obstacles on the road.

Benz, which comes with Mercedes relays, charges $1,000 for the diesel. This is a small amount to forego I return for an efficient performance, cleaner exhausts, and an effective alternative for gasoline.

Safety while driving your Mercedes Benz car is as important as safety while doing its maintenance. Reviewing your Mercedes repair manual is the first thing to do before doing any repair or maintenance. The next thing to remember is the safety while doing the job.
Always put in mind that a car is a machine. It will not work without the aid of human intervention. But just like any other machines, it is also prone to break down and a long list of risks on or off the road. These should be prevented because your life is at risk.
Using your Mercedes repair manual, know how each Mercedes parts work. Carefully familiarize yourself with the interior, exterior, engine and other parts, and then know their specific functions. This will help you in knowing immediately what needs to be repaired and the style of maintenance the parts need. If you have not familiarized yourself with the parts and their functions, it will cause severe car problem and can also damage your skin or any other body parts due to the exhausted chemicals, excreted fluids or deteriorated part that might fall before your body.
Most auto parts can cause physical damages to your body, if not used repaired or maintained properly.
One of the important things to keep in mind while doing a repair is the hotness or coldness of the car. There are certain auto parts that need to be cooled down first before doing any repair. Examples of these are the tires, engines, and the hoses. There are parts that need to be warmed up first before any repair. Meanwhile, there are parts which do not require heat or coolness before any repair is to be done - meaning which ever condition is applicable.
The car batteries are one of the most dangerous parts, when not properly maintained. This is for the reason that they contain acid and emit hydrogen gas that is dangerous to the lungs and skin and can even cause explosions. To avoid this, remove away any ignition source from the batteries. Cigarettes are example of these sources so it is better to close the car while working on the batteries. It is also a must to wear gloves while handling the car batteries so that direct contact will be avoided. Aside from this, it is important to know that car batteries can also give you shocks due to the amps they have. Disconnecting the battery negative cable will avoid such problems.
It is also better to make a fire extinguisher accessible while doing the repairs so that in case of unexpected fire in or on your vehicle, you will easily reach it. The car engine and batteries are examples of auto parts prone to explosion, so extreme care while repairing them is a must. Never allow someone smoking to come close to you when you are still doing the repair.
Protect yourself through wearing a protector while doing the repair. Automobiles have poison gases. The exhaust contains these gases and these are dangerous once they enter the respiratory system. Suffocation is one of the effects of too much, and sometimes even little, intake of these gases.
Car cables are also combustible. They cause voltage sparks and when combined with gases and other combustible elements, it might cause fire. Maintain your car keys away from the ignition and properly connect the cables to prevent this.
Car safety is everybody's concern. This can only be achieved through having the right know-how in automotive works.
