[Jim Dos]

the jetta diesel I owned back in 84 was one of the best cars I've ever owned..mpg were in the 40's...no turbo back then..we'd still be driving it today if a 76 yo man hadn't tboned my wife and son and totaled it....I'd own another one some day.. thumbs up...   Jim ----- Original Message ----- From: Clint Hooper To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Tuesday, August 30, 2005 3:39 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] new Dodge Charger A 5spd diesel Jetta will get over 50mpg on the road and they have surprising performance for an economy car. The better mileage more than justifies the added cost of diesel,IMO.
