    Returning TDI in Michigan // Temp Plate or not for drive to dealer?

    staying low in odometer reading. When I turned mine in, it had 39993 miles on it. They initially gave me a quote thinking the car would have 40 - 45 k when turned in. When it was under 40k, by only 7 miles, it still meant I got $508 more than quoted for the car.

    How Much Longer Until Diesel Is Phased Out?

    Electric is fine for around town.. And would be OK on the road when they figure out a way to pull up to a pump and fill it up in five minutes. The first compression engines were diesel and I expect the last ones will be also. Cold fusion for electric would be fine, but the mushroom cloud...
