Colorado's energy mix isn't great, but it's about equivalent to getting 35MPG (Lifecycle EV Emissions). Does your power company allow purchasing Renewable Energy Certificates/Greentags (i.e. you by renewable energy somewhere on the grid to offset the lack of it locally)? Second, you'd be better...

I just ordered a Chrysler Pacifica PHEV. As soon as that comes in, I'll be TDI free for the first time in 13 years... :(

HW Timing Belt Change in ABQ I know this thread is old, but I thought I'd post to it instead of making a new thread... I just had my Timing Belt changed (and the rest of the TB change list) on my 05 PD Golf. It was about $1K and the guys at Hans Wittler did a great job. Their people were very...

What, you've never heard of "crowd sourcing"? :p
