I think there needs to be a G2G in the works. Anybody planning on going to the Appalachian Diesel Works G2G Oct. 20th in Asheville?

Not me. I'll be finishing up a week in Costa Rica with my wife... Sounds expensive, but my company sends us on a trip each year if we meet/exceed targets! No kids allowed!!!

Knoxvegas here. I will try to make it to the Asheville gtg, provided work allows. For those of you needing assistance; I do a fair amount of wrenching on ALH cars and have VCDS and most of the specialty tools.

Chattanooga...checking in.

Can't make Asheville, the wife had open heart surgery last month. It'll be a while before we can do any trips.

There is a real nice KOA in Asheville though. It has private ponds stocked for fishing.

Never thought about KOA! Thanks. I believe I found my accomadations for that weekend.

Should be pretty good weather to do that and some nice scenery too.

Murfreesboro here

Work in the Nashville area and was wondering where the best places to fuel up were. Any premium diesel spotted/confirmed?

Picked up my 2012 MKVI Monday... first TDI and loving it.

A lot more of us than I ever thought. We need to look into G2G's and maybe a monthly dinner meet up etc....

This summer while browsing the dealer inventory on the local new car lots, there were many VW TDIs available... Golf, Jetta & Touareg. Nice to see more diesel cars going down the road.

Congrats on the new TDI. I have not been able to confirm premium diesel anywhere in mid-TN. I'm sure there is some. We just need to lock it down. Maybe we could reach out to Hollingsworth Oil or some other supplier to see where they supply premium.

I usually just try to pick a station with high turnover, ie. a truck stop or station near the freeway. You have several good choices along I-24.

Jackson here. Still looking for a TDI though! If anyone knows of a MKIV 5 speed for a reasonable price, let me know!

Brand new owner of a TDI in the Nashville area. Had my JSW for less than a day then experienced this:

My wagon is now back and thrilled with the change from my former ride (2000 Toyota Sienna). My kids are spoiled by the pano sunroof. :D They turned up their nose at the 2012 Accord we had as a loaner because it didn't have one.

Will be taking my first long distance trip with it next week and looking forward to the drive to Florida for once in my life.

Congrats on the purchase and being part of the club! Sorry about your misfortune though. With so many of us now around it seems like we need to plan a G2G. Nashville seems to be the central hot spot. Me and Cmnspwr are the only members on this side of the state, everybody else is Nashville or Knoxville area with a few Chattanoogans.

I'm about to fill up my first tank of gas since purchasing my MKVI. Trying desperately to find a high volume source of decent brand fuel.
My other alternative is Pilot + Diesel Kleen, the later of which i'd rather not deal with.

So where is everyone filling up in the Nashville area?

Any station with a decent diesel turnover will be suffice. I run Daily's B20 when I'm there and low on my B99. With you having a 2012 you don't really have that option. Pilot/Flying J, TA, & Loves will all be good choices for you. When I can't get any bio I will run my additive of choice, MotorKote.

I think, in my travels, that I stopped at the Daily's in Lebanon. They had good B20 and it was cheaper than dino diesel - you know, the way it should be. Pilot seems to at least be consistent, maybe not the greatest, but consistent. If you're passing through the East Knoxville area, the Pilot station off Strawberry Plains exit has B20. I typically use DieselKleen whenever I am not running bio. ymmv

I have vagcom. But I'm 2 hrs west of you. If we wanted to do a g2g Nashville seems to be the central location.

Anybody have a location we could have a g2g at so we can get to planning?
