Then with the large differential that occurred between the price of RUG and the price of ULSD (sometimes RUG was $1.50/gal and ULSD > $2.50 in the same place) the bottom fell out of the used VW diesel market, and has yet to recover.
Most of the older ( pre '09) Jetta's and Golf's can get 40 to 50 mpg with no trouble.
Now what I wonder - has anyone seen the troopers ever check a car to see if it's burning red diesel? | Thanks for the advice. I will look into it.
