my 06 NH TDI gets zero additives. 45 mpg summer, 41 winter fuel & blizzaks.. mostly highway, 75 mph. Over 50 mpg on highway if i drive annoyingly slow. speaking of fuel prices: even though diesel is 60% more than gasoline lately, both are are a bargain now thanks to the Green Depression.

While driving to work today my car stopped accelerating when I gave it gas. I rolled to the side of the road and was able to put it in park. It will start up and idle as usual. The exhaust system lit up solid yellow and all the gear settings (P N D....) flashed red. I had it towed to the dealership which was ironically 2 blocks away!! Any heads up as to what to expect? I have a 2006 Jetta TDI. 90,000 mi.+/-

Replying to: shrifty (Dec 06, 2008 7:37 pm) Do you find the driver's seat uncomfortable while wearing a winter coat? All the expert reviews that I have read about the '09 Jetta TDI said the seats are comfortable but not for me while wearing a light winter jacket and I'm small. On Friday, I test drove the new Audi A4 which had bucket seats. Now, I'm thinking that maybe the reason why the Jetta seats feel uncomfortable while wearing a coat is because the seats are not bucket seats. What do you think?

Replying to: c1813 (Dec 09, 2008 6:36 pm) At the start of cold weather (temps around 20 F) I start using anti-gel. Then after a month or so I stop using it (or cut back) on the assumption that treated fuel has worked it's way through the system. If it gets really cold, like below 0, I start using it again at a stronger dose. It's usually this cold for only a few weeks here. |

When RUG was $4 and Diesel was $4.80, it was only 20% more than RUG. Now that RUG is $1.60 and Diesel is $2.40 - it's 50% more per gallon. (these are typical prices in Tucson) So, if you were comparing a diesel with a regular car that got 22mpg avg, the diesel would need to now get 33mpg in order to 'break even' whereas 6 months ago, it would only needed to have gotten 26 mpg. If we compare it to a 40mpg Prius (I know, they often get higher than that), this summer the diesel would have needed to get 48mpg to break even. Now- 60mpg. Of course, gas prices won't stay this low (or, at least I hope not, as that means the world economy is in the tank), but it does mean that plenty of Jetta TDI's will be sitting on lots ready to be sold at a steep discount.

Replying to: morey000 (Dec 10, 2008 8:53 am) I am not sure what that means; but i.e., the last time I checked a 03 VW Jetta 1.8T/2.0 sold for easily 4k LESS than a 03 VW Jetta TDI. What do you mean by your quote?
