>>>Well yes, I think my next car will be a Volkswagon Jetta Diesel. I may need to drive long distances in the near future and the fuel cost will be much less if the vehicle gets twice the mileage of my current one. OH and the Broncos win this weekend. What was that question again . . . <g>

Just think, you could pull up to the gas station every 300 - 400 miles and sell THEM the gas in your tank! After I perfect that, I'm going to build an oil tanker!

Couldn't you just drive backward everywhere instead of messing with turning the motor?
