>I did several thousand miles in Canada with a deisel Jetta! I came back with more fuel than I started with! MY cousin "accompanied" me in a Firebird. Guess who had to stop the more. :-)

>>I have a Jetta and considered the diesel model, which gets significantly higher mileage than their gas-powered models. The reasons I decided against it were:
>>
>>-- Diesel fuel is more expensive and harder to find
>>-- Stinky
>>-- Noisy
>>-- Sluggish

>>"Your mileage may vary." ;-)
