[Vwdiesel] Travels with a non VW turbo diesel!

[Hayden Chasteen]

Hi All, just wanted to pop in a let you know about my current sojourn  
in my 07 Jeep Grand Cherokee CDI.
So far we have driven from Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas to Newberry,  
Michigan in the Upper Peninsula.  The Jeep is averaging 20 mpg towing  
a 1700 lb trailer and all the stuff we need for 21/2 weeks of travel  
and camping.  Average speed is 65 mph with some good bursts of speed  
to pass slow pokes on the two lane roads (trying to stay away from the  
interstates as much as possible).  Not bad for a vehicle of that  
size.  I haven't seen many diesel VW's.  A couple of TDIs but nothing  
older.  I guess that is because of the salt eating the northern cars  
up.  Tomorrow we head into Canada first to a town called Parry Sound  
and then south to Toronto and then to Niagara Falls.  I seem to  
remember we have a Canadian or two on this list right now so if you  
are near by either of those places.  Drop me an email and we can try  
to put a face to the name. If someone cold cross post to the vw audi  
diesel group, I would appreciate it.   Hayden
