Diesel Debate

[Mark R]

It's a $1300.00 tax credit for the Jetta TDI.

The Z06 is the most fuel efficient vehicle I own.  28 MPG at 74 MPH.  Of
course, it might be argued that my Escalade (when fully loaded) is more
efficient per people mile.  I expect Taka's Vette might even better that.

Want to reduce our carbon footprint?  Buy a used car.  And make it light....
who needs safety and modern conveniences?
