Those TDI's areNothing like the smell of Diesel or Jet fuel
Going down hill (coasting) my Ford 7.3 Diesel has shown on the mileage screen 99.9 mpg
Thankfully, I was drinking tea when I read Bobby's post, so I couldn't spit out any coffee
And while I am really into the TDI engines of the V-dubs...I also know that soon enough V-dub will be bringing out a diesel/electric hybrid, that should get well over 75 mpg. That is when we will sell my wife's VW cabrio that we bought brand new...and buy her a new diesel/electric hybrid.
I also love the smell of diesel fuel. Doesn't bother me at all.
But I am enjoying this new Toy Prius "C". It is fun to drive. Keep in mind, this is simply my daily driver, my grocery getter, my run to Home Depot car. It will be driven about 12K a year, while I do 3 to 4 times that on my bikes each year. I also have other vehicles, like the '06 WRX-STI that I get to beat up on Mustangs with, and my '24 Hupmobile, and my '57 MB 300SL.
Now, back to drinking the tea 'coffee'
