so anyone hear car talk on NPR today (sat, feb 25)??
one of the last callers was a guy from portland OR calling to say that his wife was driving a subaru wagon and he was looking for a AWD wagon diesel because he wanted to try using biodiesel.
Sounds kinda familiar to what i've been wishing and hearing about on fred's for years and years. I waited to get my 96 to see if they'd offer 4motion/quattro, but to no avail.
so click and clack recommend the jetta wagon tdi, which is surprising since they hate VWs for some reason, but then they go off about how with biodiesel there are extra tanks and you have to stop and start on reg diesel, basically they got it wrong and think bio is WVO. I couldn't believe it... on national radio too!
the guy listening didn't really say much (which makes me think he didn't know much about diesel/bio./wvo), but my impression is that he suddenly started erroneously thinking it was too much trouble. i'm gonna call car talk (doug the old gray mare lives on the other side of the notch from me) and try an knock some sense into em.
oi.
