mIleage all right...!!
Been getting asked a lot at the truck stops lately how is my MPG by the guys driving the diesel pickups, lol
...I resemble that remark..!!
I used to be fairly happy with 18-19mpg..that was with an MT truck and .80/Litre.! Well the big rig is paid for and I still have a smaller trailer to pull from time to time..but 50-70,000km annually on the rd in sales is simply not feasible anymore in a 2500HD...even with my mileage being paid so to speak...I mean why the hell give it to the oil companies.? May as well keep 60% of what I spend now in my pocket instead.!
As such I am really really heartened by what I read here this past 2 hours while reading this whole thread.!!
Seems as with all vehicles: Fluids / Filters / and in the case of these units: Timely timing belts/water pump changes along with an EGr block and a guy should be good to go...no.?
Anyway we've got <2 months to go before we move to Ontario (Barrie), and have seen prices for used JEtta's ('00 to 02 with 150km avg @ $12-13,500 CDN pesos), so that seems to be prety good as far as I can see.
Like the looks, like the fuel economy, like the idea of a 5 spd. Lookin forward to owning one...real soon.
Cheers,
