Well since I installed the 2.5" down pipe and exhaust system, I finally got
around to filling up the 91 Jetta TD today. Wanted to get it full before the
prices went back up do to the new storm that is heading for the Gulf.  I
went 507 miles and it took 10.14 US gallons to fill it up. So that is 50mpg.
That is up from 46.6 the last tank that was on the restricted exhaust
system.  Both times I drove the car the same sensible easy way with 80%
highway and 20% city.  I just can't get over the power I have now since I
opened up the exhaust. Truly amazing.  :-)

 

Now to start making Biodiesel.  I have a good start on barrels, pump, and a
water heater, just need to get all the plumbing hardware and put it all
together.
