re: Diesel Engine MPG question... i know im going to catch hell for thisPosted by DownshiftAndFloorIt on 5/9/13 at 10:31 am to JAB528
Big green is blowd up right now in fact.
Next big truck will be an F350 gas burner probably, but I ain't getting that to drive to Kenner and back.

FYI, it cost me ~$60 to fill up and I get ~750 miles on a tank. Oil change every 10k.
Jetta tdi?
My dad has a jetta gasser because he's on the road all the time and it gets ~32 mpg. However, he wishes he'd have got the tdi.

It's not really blown up. Shot u-joints on the back drive shaft from all my log skidding.

I'm not sure I want to swing the initial cost of the TDI though. I'd love to go that route, I just don't know if I can.

Get a used one. Or better yet get a tdi toureg. Awd and rides real good. My mother test drove one the other day. Those are about fiddy grand though.

U interested in going the van route? There's plenty of good priced vans with a v6 out there.

Look at a used Toyota car...

That's what I'm looking at. And some small trucks.

Just look for a used Jetta tdi standard. The Toureg diesel has been out for years now

They cost too much. I'm not spending $20k + on something I really don't even want.
100psi injectors??????????????????????
Does somebody not know how a diesel works?

To pull heavy stuff and last a long time.
I don't like diesels. They weigh too much and cost too much.

IIRC, it is supposed to be at 30k psi on each one.
Last engine was white smoking at startup and not making compression, so I am thinking rings
