By taking out the sulphur in their diesel fuel, Morocco expects a vast improvement as far as its carbon emissions and pollution problems are concerned. This was announced as Morocco will be gradually introducing the “cleaner diesel” in their transition period until April of this year.

With this development comes the issue of pricing. This is one concern that Moroccans are addressing at the moment as the price for the new and improved diesel fuel is expected to cost them a bit. Despite being just a couple of dirhams, local car owners running on diesel power feel that this may be a bit too much than their pockets can handle.

Then again, why own a car if you cannot handle the fuel costs? We experienced the same problem when the oil prices spiked more than 100% so a couple of dirhams should not really hurt.

“The new 50 ppm diesel went on sale on January 1st, 2009, replacing 350 diesel at its base price, which is 10.13 dirhams a litre”
