Diesel is on par with gasoline in Louisiana. In fact, local station has it at $1.99/gal with gasoline at $2.09/gal
My TDI gets about 35miles/gal so it’s terrific.
I find the whole thing ridiculous. It was a great car and people bought it for amazing mileage. After the scandal... it STILL gets amazing mileage. So big effing deal that it does not meat emissions. It still emits less than a truck, or many other classes of vehicle.
