GM President Shrugs Off Near-Record Diesel Prices -- WSJ

By Christopher Otts

"You look at diesel prices ... All I know is that, a year from now, it'll be different," GM President Mark Reuss said Tuesday at an event in Detroit. "And so, those are what people want, and that's what we're going to supply."
