[s-cars] audi diesels

[Mark Strangways]

I have a Liberty Diesel, it doesn't stink at all.
It does manage 7.3 l/100km at speeds.
Not bad for a 4400 lbs pig.
And I do like the near 300 foot pounds of torque at 1800 rpm

Diesel prices are finally coming down, and my biodiesel generator in the 
works I will take it .
