Honda had claimed 2 years ago to come with a diesel Accord that would not require adblue. So do not hurry to stock the adblue if some of you may trade in adware using diesels with Honda diesel.

Dodoma, surely you have been around long enough to know that one must NOT any believe any USA diesel passenger vehicle pre-announcement.

afaik, Honda has long since wimped out of their pre-announced pie-in-the-sky diesel plans for USA. Hey, 20 mpg for the Accord is *plenty* - who needs more mpg than that?

I note at the Detroit Diesel website they'll do adBlue for 2010, so this may open up some sources. http://www.detroitdiesel.com/emissions/epa2010/

The Detroit diesel site mentions better mileage (5%). Is it possible this will be true for passenger car engines also? Then, the cost of AdBlue may be offset?

Adblue in my Audi equates to .003 cents per mile for cost. Truly no cost offset needed. You will do better by changing your driving habits.

What sort of highway mileage are you seeing on the Q7? A nice machine!

Exactly, the ML is around $.0046 per mile...non issue in respect to cost using the VW sourced AdBlue.

I will be in Germany on Sunday, and will check what the pump price is for AdBlue over there kinda curious how we are doing here stateside.

I have 3500 miles on it now with a hand computed 24.6 mpg average. Two 800 mile Interstate trips are in that 3500 miles. The rest is mixed highway and city driving with maybe 25% of it being the city driving with stoplights. Not in town traffic like a big metropolitan area but where you hit 3 out of 5 lights and average 35 mph through town. I have seen a best of 28.7 mpg on highway trips at about 68 mph average. The sweet spot seems to be between 67-72 mph with good driving practices to avoid unnecessary acceleration. If I dont use cruise and let the speed bleed down going up hills then speed up going back down the computer says in the 31mpg range. But I can only do that with no traffic. Overall I have been very happy. After recomputing the 10,000 mile interval on filling the adblue tank it works out closer to your figure, still negligible. I think my Q holds 12 gallons of the stuff.

I am away from my Audi right now in Mesa, AZ doing upset recovery training at Aircraft Performance Solutions all this week. Very fun stuff. Of course flying a very nice German aircraft the Extra 300.

Extra 300, very nice!
