I seem to average 622 miles before I fill up (manual tranny). But my fillups usually coincide with being near good diesel prices.Quick Storm said:how many gallons are you guys putting when you fill up? low fuel level light comes on and the most I have put in is 13.8gallons. Its hard to see how much more I can fill up. I used to fill up to about 2in from brim of filler neck on the duramax I had.
I agree with Oldman52. While we may not acheive as the mileage of older diesels, we're getting a lot of value in a car that's quieter, odor-free, well-made and fun to drive (yes, when I am not driving like a 'granny' <g>).
By the way, I can hear my neighbors' '84 diesel Puegot wagen almost 3 blocks away. It's still going strong but provides a stunning contrast in diesels' improvement over the decades.
