Diesel is NOT bad for the environment anymore. Early diesels were loud and nasty, but diesels today are just as quiet as gas powered cars and get better milage.

I want a TDI.

Also in another year or two, fuel suppliers in the U.S. are going to switch to a low sulfur diesel fuel that will burn cleaner and futher cut down on emissions. This low sulfur diesel is currently available in Europe where diesels are more popular.

Okay yeah thats true. Diesels are not as bad for the enviorment as they used to be. And they do have great gas mileage. My parents, aunt, uncle, and little sister went to Las Vegas from here in L.A with the air conditioning on, their luggage, and all the other stuff that could ruin gas mileage on one tank of gas. Impressive

It is only 270 miles, it isn't all that impressive. My parents van can go from my house in Northern Virginia to upstate New York on one tank of gas, and have a quarter tank left. Thats 373 miles. Going a certain distance on a tank of gas is not impressive by itself. You need to consider how big the tank of gas is, the van has a 27 gallon tank, so going 373 miles isn't all that impressive.

Remember, numbers mean nothing if you don't understand them.
