I’ve had a number of Audis. When I read “two turbochargers and an electric supercharger”, I immediate thought “Great— more expensive parts to go bad by 80K miles”.

[Blood of Tyrants]

They achieved an average of 75.9 miles per gallon – much better than the advertised rating of 67 mpg

Where can I get one?

Someone needs ‘splainin to me, an old dinosaur, about why and when diesel went from being much cheaper to the more ‘refined’ gasoline to much more expensive than gasoline. I have never understood that.

Interesting, too bad it is an Audi.......

Nope, Alt-225 = ß but you can't type those keyboard codes directly in FR. For reasons unknown to me, probably some sort of collision between Perl and your keyboard BIOS, but that's above my pay grade to understand. You have to type those codes in say Notepad and then cut & paste the message into your FR reply.

List of kbd codes: http://fsymbols.com/keyboard/windows/alt-codes/list/

It is a 2-handed operation: Hold down "alt" and then type some number (has to be on the numeric keypad) and your oddball character will appear when you LET GO of Alt.

This how you get © ├ ≈ Ä σ ⌠ é. There are many, many of them. You can just play around with it, picking any umber you choose. You won't blow anything up!

My theory:

Testosterone-laden men and their diesel PU trucks.

Freight delivery, a necessity.

Audis are the modern incarnation of Oliver Wendell Holmes’ famous “One Horse Shay”

All the expensive stuff seemingly falls apart simultaneously the day after the warranty runs out.

In other news, I’ve gotten my 57 Bel Air up to 11 miles per gallon. I won’t stop until I’m making 15mpg!
