[Vwdiesel] Update on Grand Cherokee Ecodiesel

[dieseltdi at verizon.net]

Well just spent the day driving out to East Texas and back (after a visit of course) drove just over 301 miles and the average mpg reading says 32.0!!!!! Pretty darn good for a boat the size of manhattan!!!! The thing rides really well.  I have a feeling that it is going to be difficult to come up with accurate MPG readings however.  The filler does not have a regular opening and cap, it has a trap door that you can’t hold open to see when the neck is full.  So my thinking is to let the pump shut off and then fill it to the next full $ reading to keep everything close.  I will keep tabs on both my calculated mpg and the one from the car.  Will let you guys know.  Hayden

“I do not know if the people of the United States would vote for superior men if they ran for office, but there can be no doubt that such men do not run."

“I cannot help fearing that men may reach a point where they look on every new theory as a danger, every innovation as a toilsome trouble, every social advance as a first step toward revolution, and that they may absolutely refuse to move at all.”  Alexis de Tocqueville
