Bought a used 2002 VW Jetta TDI in 2011 for my 50 mile 1 way commute. Put more then 60000 miles on it getting 52 miles a gallon. Best investment in a car I ever made.....

Back in the 90’s, Chuck Harter used to tout the benefits of diesel vehicles on his radio show. In between talking about black helicopters and Project HAARP. I think he was heading down the road of “there aren’t many diesel cars because of a conspiracy”. But the people he had on pretty much gave all of this same info.

We had the same car and besides being uncomfortable on trips ( 3 hour max) it was the most expensive car to maintain we’ve ever owned. Part of that was the unhelpful parasitic service dept and poor reliability. We got but 41mpg on the highway. We dumped it for a grand marquis and will never own another VW.
