Yeahhhh my gti technically gets 34-36 on the freeway but all my driving is short trips around town so I get like 20 avg on a tank.
I know the 240d should get good mileage but with diesel prices this high its still cheaper to drive my gasser unless I use wvo

At least it used to cost less back in the 90's, not sure about today with the ULSD stuff.
In the end it's just greed.

I can be wrong, don't take everything I say as verbatim, please fact-check first.

And to think it costs them LESS to make diesel, as it's a byproduct of gasoline manufacturing...

(04-06-2011, 04:13 AM)stan yes but do you have suburbs and have to drive long distances to get to anything?
Not me, but the highway into Zagreb is clogged in the morning, it's also clogged on the way out of Zagreb in the evening.
I also know people that do 40k+ miles per year. Don't know how much that is by USA standards. Also the living standard here is lower, considerably. But we're getting way off topic now.
