[Jack of all Trades]

I have an '89 Jetta diesel that is now mostly retired from service. I drove it about 100K miles in four years. Even though my foot was on the floor most of the time, I got between 45 and 50 MPG. I never tried biodiesel, but I bet it would have been nice to have smelled like popcorn all the time.

I have an '89 Jetta diesel that is now mostly retired from service. I drove it about 100K miles in four years. Even though my foot was on the floor most of the time, I got between 45 and 50 MPG. I never tried biodiesel, but I bet it would have been nice to have smelled like popcorn all the time.

I would hope the engine is still in good shape after 100k miles. I had an olds with a v8 diesel for a few months. If it had been a better build engine it sure would have been something. The car was so over powered and had a lock in transmission that it refused to drive below 60. There was no way to push the throttle soft enough to keep it under about 68 on the highway.
