...VW Product Communications Leader Christian Buhlmann tells us, "In the U.S., over 30 percent of Jetta four-doors are TDI and over 50 percent of SportWagen sales likewise."... but WAIT !!!... link title |

wonder what my TSX would be worth at trade-in time against one of these? Methinks I'll watch all this carefully for the next year or so to see which way the wind blows. Six speed manual w/ a 2 litre diesel meets most of what my ideal vehicle would include. The only missing piece is the RWD. |

This Skoda Yeti CUV comes with THREE diesel options. None of which we will see here in the third World of automotive choices. How much oil would we save with soccer mom's getting 35-40 MPG combined instead of 15 MPG?

I have not done this for a bit, so here goes. If you see a negative number it indicates that diesel is cheaper. The numbers are based on the State averages from AAA (06/25/09 02:58 AM). Anyone want to hazard a guess as to why diesel is more expensive in only Alaska and Hawaii (D2 vs. PUG)? My guess would be a refinery/transportation issue. Or maybe taxes...in Hawaii they might try and keep the RUG/PUG price down for the tourists.. And for whatever reason, Montana seems to have the best diesel price when compared to RUG & PUG. State RUG/D2 PUG/D2 Alaska 15.9% 3.6% Alabama 0.0% -9.1% Arkansas -0.4% -11.3% Arizona -2.5% -11.6% California -5.4% -12.6% Colorado -0.6% -11.1% Connecticut 0.9% -9.4% District of Columbia 6.3% -3.1% Delaware 1.2% -8.8% Florida -0.7% -10.0% Georgia 0.2% -10.8% Hawaii 28.8% 19.6% Iowa 0.2% -9.2% Idaho 0.8% -7.1% Illinois -3.6% -13.1% Indiana -2.6% -11.9% Kansas 1.5% -4.9% Kentucky -3.2% -13.6% Louisiana -1.4% -11.6% Massachusetts 1.2% -9.3% Maryland 1.3% -7.1% Maine -1.2% -10.9% Michigan -1.8% -10.9% Minnesota 1.1% -5.3% Missouri 0.2% -9.0% Mississippi -0.8% -10.0% Montana -6.0% -14.0% North Carolina -1.9% -11.4% North Dakota -3.7% -10.2% Nebraska -1.5% -6.3% New Hampshire -0.3% -11.1% New Jersey -0.3% -10.4% New Mexico -1.5% -11.4% Nevada -3.3% -11.5% New York 0.8% -7.7% Ohio 0.9% -9.0% Oklahoma -1.2% -9.5% Oregon -4.8% -11.1% Pennsylvania 3.2% -6.2% Rhode Island 0.7% -8.4% South Carolina 0.0% -10.3% South Dakota -3.1% -12.5% Tennessee 0.0% -9.8% Texas -0.2% -9.0% Utah 0.8% -8.4% Virginia 1.1% -7.2% Vermont 1.7% -9.4% Washington -3.5% -11.3% Wisconsin -2.0% -9.8% West Virginia -1.0% -9.8% Wyoming -2.3% -12.0%

Replying to: ruking1 (Jun 23, 2009 7:59 am) That was not a mistake. He just needs to get himself a good gasser.  http://www.detnews.com/article/20090628/OPINION03/906280303/1148/auto01/557+000+- miles+on+her+Chariot "Sweet old Rachel Veitch of Orlando, Fla., could be the ruination of the automobile industry. But at least she's cute. When GrowingBolder.com first interviewed her, she was 89 years old and had 540,000 miles on her 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente. Now she's 90, still packing a sharp tongue and a stubby pistol, and the odometer has clicked past 557,000."
