Yeppers. Its done all the time around these parts. Usually its not the police , but the taxman. The fines are quite big ( several thousand) if your caught. Last year? there were a couple loggers and demolition company picked up locally. They'll cut your filter open, the die sinks right into the paper. They gave the usual excuse... I ran out and took some out of the slip tank to get home... didnt work

Yeah the VW's get great milage, I used to have a Jetta diesel got well over 50 MPG. I could drive from NS to Ottawa on a tank Why do we need the complexity of a electric hybrid again???? I miss that car.

Hopefully VW will see fit to bring the Polo BlueMotion diesel to North America.. Hello 70+MPG

By late 2008 a 2006 Jetts was going for the same prices as a difficult to get 2009. All other years followed. Many peeps were selling 2006's or 2005's for about what they paid for them new.
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.

Thanks for the advice. I will look into it.
