[Vwdiesel] payload capacity

[decker at toledotel.com]

Any  VW N/A  diesel Rabbit pickup that won't do 70 down a flat freeway on a
decent day is either running a 4 spd or is in big time need of a tune-up. My
81 Dasher N/A diesel with a 5 speed will do 70-75 all day . The only problem
is it will only get 47 MPG instead of the 50 MPG it will get running 60 to
65.
