[V8] March Madness...well, just madness

[Scott Simmons]

Out here, in "This is our Country"-Chevy Country, it's a rare treat to 
find a German car.  I made friends with the local 200 20v and a few A6's 
(and that ugly A4 from Colorado with the body kit, yeck).

So when a VW pulls up, it's exciting too.  There's a few TDI's in town.  
A very, very nice Mk V Golf TDI.  And I ask those Jetta drivers about 
their mileage.  They report about 40 in town, 50 on the highway.

Prius? Or a Golf?  Hmm........................ that's about as hard of a 
choice as a $30k Camry.. or a $30k C-class.
