HOLLYWOOD SHOWS GREEN AND SAVES GREEN WITH MERCEDES-BENZ BLUETEC CLEAN DIESEL SUVS
Singer, musician, songwriter and environmental supporter, Sheryl Crow, is part of a growing group of well-known musicians and actors who are passionate about the benefits of Mercedes-Benz BlueTEC clean diesel vehicles. Her Mercedes-Benz R320 BlueTEC is one of today’s modern diesel vehicles that are extremely quiet, environmentally clean, and can achieve a range of 500 miles on a single tank of diesel fuel.
“The newest clean diesel vehicles are eco-friendly and deserve as much attention as other gas alternatives like hybrids,” said Crow. A benefit of driving a green car like a Mercedes-Benz BlueTEC beyond not sacrificing space or luxury is the IRS alternative-powertrain tax credit. Owners of new clean diesel vehicles are eligible for the same tax credit as hybrids. The current Diesel Tax Credits for owners of a 2009 Mercedes-Benz BlueTEC are $1,800 for the GL320; $1,550 for the R320; and $900 for the ML320. According to the EPA, the nation would save 1.4 million barrels of oil a day if just one third of all light-duty vehicles in the USA were state-of-the-art diesel vehicles. The Mercedes-Benz BlueTEC vehicles combine a smooth, quiet ride with fuel efficiency that delivers 20-30 percent higher fuel economy than a comparable gasoline engine making it the GREEN choice for
Sheryl Crow and several other celebrities including Kim Cattrall, Billy Baldwin, Kyle MacLachlan, Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber, and Nicole Richie and Joel Madden.
