It's funny, I was joking with her about how lame her passat was, but she did have me sort of stumped when she pointed out that she tends to get about 650 miles out of each tank of petrol, where I get about 250... 300 if I'm lucky... But then again, I didn't buy this car for it's economy... more for the fact that even fully loaded with all my music gear, and with 4 people in the car, it can still overtake any car on the backroads in this country with no problem at all. Brings a smile to my face just thinking about it! "Pete Brown" <petes.inboxnopsamternet.com> wrote in message news:bmfdds$e58$1nopsamta.btinternet.com... > Hi Jules > > Never liked diesels.
