Yup. Its a pretty sharp rig. You better get on the horn to VW if you want it! What I was reading seems to indicate that VW Canada was going to do it alone and bring it to Canada only.

The American Chicken Tax might stop VW from bringing it stateside. IIRC its built in Argentina and Germany.

Diesel fuel does not COST more than gasoline, it is priced higher due to refinery optimization toward gasoline & skewed government tax policy toward diesel fuel (very few non-road diesel fuel outlets, or similar light duty automotive fuel outlets). Combine this with absurd zero emission EPA micro-slicing, and you have reverse policy of what should be - diesels use less fuel, have more torque, and emit less carbon dioxide. Yet, we subsidize gasoline. WTF?

Yes, we have the best government the petroleum industry can buy. They make far more money selling beaucoup more gasoline to inefficient automotive engines. The root cause is corrupt, money-influenced governments by industry tycoons. Back to the 1910's.

Diesel is cheaper than gas up here, one more reason to buy.

Both are still over $5 gallon, still too much IMHO.

I've been buying diesel for about 5 years know, first for my Kubota tractor, and the last 2 years for my Dodge truck also. As a rule, diesel has cost more. Right now its priced at 3.92 a gallon, about the same price as mid grade gasoline but less than premimum.

I have been a diesel guy since 1998 with my 1999 F350. Back then diesel was 75% the cost of 87 octane. Now, in my area, It's $.40 more on the gallon.

Okay, I take it back then.



Around here, diesel is higher then Premium gas!!! But that 3.92 is more then what we have locally. Last I filled, it was $3.85 gal/diesel and it was higher then Premium.....

I hate saying this, but back around 2007, when diesel locally broke the $3.00 mark to $3.15 or so during fall harvest, heck, now I'd "love" to see $3.15 diesel......
