Polecat73 Rookie Author Syracuse Posts:5 Points:1,315 Joined:Oct 2005	Message Posted: Feb 19, 2011 11:31:43 AM Ignore Polecat73 Report Abuse Yes, two; two Diesel engined cars. Newest is 2010 VW Golf. Try the new VW Diesels! You won't know you are driving a Diesel-engined car. They are not noisy, not smelly, they ARE 30% more efficient than a gasoline engine, therefore mush better fuel mileage. The down side is that where diesel fuel was traditionally less costly than gasoline, it is now more expensive. Not sure of the reason. Diesel fuel is virtually identical to #2 fuel oil, which is dyed to distinguish it from diesel fuel. A barrel of crude will yield more diesel fuel than gasoline when refined. Higher taxes? A need to refine more home heating oil than diesel? I don't know.

SmokRJoe Rookie Author Portland Posts:11 Points:45,920 Joined:Sep 2010	Message Posted: Oct 18, 2010 11:18:16 PM Ignore SmokRJoe Report Abuse I just love my 2010 Jetta, Sportwaggen, TDI. Best car I ever owned. It has everything going for it. You regular fuel types, Here in Oregon fuel is 10% ethanol. Sheesh, the Govt. in USA just is allowing for up to 15% ethanol. Buying gasoline blended with Ethanol is kinda like buying Light Beer. You get less beer and more water. With Diesel fuel, there isnt the milage robbing ethanol.
