Be honest - there isn't a TDI-geek on this website who wouldn't love an opportunity to set all those dinner party-goers straight!Tahna Los said:From the review by Scott Burgess:
Pros: High mileage at an affordable price.
Cons: Misconceptions surrounding diesel vehicles will annoy you during dinner parties.

hm. i too just got a 2009 sedan, to compliment my 2004 S60R. maybe one day ill be able to have a tdi (my second, i also have an 03 wagon) with the security all wheel drive on the volvo affords me.ezlazer said:2009 TDI Jetta, regular gas $3.39 per gallon, Diesel $3.14 per gallon and falling. I have had my car almost 3 weeks and it has 2030 miles on it already. Its a no brainer, but I still have my 23 mpg "96" Volvo 850R. I live near San Francisco and there are alot of hills and stop and go. Can't wait to go on a road trip.
Sorry to hijack, but where are you paying $3.14 for diesel? BTW nice to see another Pacifica resident! I wonder what TDI economy's like climbing up Highway 1 or Sharp Park Road every day...ezlazer said:2009 TDI Jetta, regular gas $3.39 per gallon, Diesel $3.14 per gallon and falling.

If you want one there are three available in Keene, NH at Noyes Volkswagen for MSRP.nykayaker said:Not a bad review overall. But it is a bit dispiriting to see in a new car review that the cars are basically sold out and unavailable for another 3 or 4 months! I mean, I thought that kind of unavailability only happened to latest hot kids' toys around Christmas!
I'm paying $3.15 in Gloucester, MA. (Citgo Diesel), but you can score 87 gas for $2.45. It's usually always $0.60+ more for diesel in Mass. regardless of the prices (up or down)The_Warden said:Sorry to hijack, but where are you paying $3.14 for diesel?

bum944 said:For the past 4 months or so that I've been noticing, diesel here in the San Diego area has been about $0.25~$0.50 more than premium. But now it is the same as mid-octane gasoline which is closer to what it should be long term.
I'm not Bum944 but I've traveled all over and I never have had a problem finding fuel. Two out of five stations have it.colt said:Hey Bum944, I live in San Diego and I am considering getting a Jetta TDI. Two questions for you:
1. How much of a hassle is it for you to find diesel in San Diego?
2. What kind of mileage are you getting?
Thanks in advance.
And another at Beranger VW in Rochester NH, Black, Black, No roof, stick, spoiler kit. No interest, but ask for Jimmy, he's a straight up salesman and a professional. www.berangervw.com He's selling me my just produced Sportwagen TDI near the end of November.vtyankee said:If you want one there are three available in Keene, NH at Noyes Volkswagen for MSRP.
Diesel is less than RUG? In California, no less? Wow. Last summer ULSD here was .10 less, now it's .70-.80 more. I still haven't seen a good explanation for the price disparity. Lowest price here is 3.59.ezlazer said:2009 TDI Jetta, regular gas $3.39 per gallon, Diesel $3.14 per gallon and falling.
