Anthony in the uk we salt the roads, in the towns and citys you can average (ish) 15mph if your lucky, the engines are switched off before they have even had a chance to even get warm. our cars breath moist air. Other than those things they work fine :thumbup: |

sWARF.. Still all things nearly equal your motors should give you more ... i know your conditions over there i am an ex-pat from South East London been here 25 years.. saying all this "Granted" my 90 mile commute per day is all Freeway (Duel carriageway equivalent) at a steady 75MPH on cruse.. you have the start stop effect agreed but there is still a wide variance. Over here its only lately the small diesel has just really taken off, that's purely a result of high gas prices and the crash of 2008, people here now drive smaller compact cars and feel comfortable in them and are very gas mileage conscious because of it.. Arbalist.. they are Michelin's....every oil change i rotate its only $2.50 per wheel sometimes its free, they are though very expensive and only one of three that make that tyre for the Jetta of any quality.... they are a great product i don't run anything else.

50mpg from a diesel is not very good but I guess it's because yours is ten years old. Modern diesels do much better than that. I think you're missing the point though, diesels are damaging folks health. |
