Diesels bad reputation
My senior paper is not only the most important paper I have ever written but it is also about something near and dear to my heart, because it is about the bad reputation that diesels have. Owning A diesel, myself I have people that think bad of me as a person because of it or make fun of me. This paper consists of diesels bad reputation and bad name, and their misconception of being underpowered.
My paper starts off with the questions that were addressed and researched and then will transfer into the research findings. The research includes sections about diesel performance, where the bad reputation started, how have diesels changed since the 70's and 80's, and if its un-clean. The paper continues to an interview …show more content…
Cohen, Narendra Agrawal and Vipul Agrawal Aftermarkets sales are responsible for 8% of annual gross domestic product. That means American businesses and consumers spend approximately $1 trillion every year on assets they already own. It also means that the U.S. aftermarket is bigger than all but the world’s eight largest economies. Meaning that people are buying parts for gas and diesel vehicles so the aftermarket is beneficial to the U.S. However, most organizations squander its potential. They perceive after-sales services to be a necessary evil and behave as though big business-to-business service contracts, small business-to-consumer warranties, and everything in between were—like taxes—a needless expense. In my interview with Tyler Clark owner and operator of Smoking Diesel Performance I asked about the aftermarket industry and how every vehicle could be improved and made better and that the aftermarket is there to fix the mistakes from the factory. The diesels aftermarket gets a bad reputation from people tuning trucks trying to make as much power as possible, also irresponsible drivers themselves they buy these tunes and go around town blowing smoke on hybrids and people thinking its's cool when that is not the intention of tuning and performance upgrades says Clark. It's here to increase performance not for teenagers to go around blowing smoke on people cause they don't agree with what they choose to drive.

The bad reputation came from the general consumer world during the 70's and 80's when GM introduced a false savior during the energy crisis. However, it was dirty, polluting and slow and smelled, it also did not perform well leading to people going back to gas. Then older generations telling younger generations they're dirty and polluting leads to bad reputation being spread even though they don't know. Which is what I expected but did not know the beginnings of the bad reputation.
This project was difficult in the sense that there is not a lot of conversation happening on my topic of diesels. Not many people care about their performance or the development of the industry. It was difficult to find journals for research but plenty of blogs and personal opinion posts on the matter. Leading it to be difficult to find accurate sources and non-bias. I had a hard time reading anti diesels websites as they were so bias and badly
