If you're anti-urea you're anti-diesel. The Jetta/Golf TDI is the LAST diesel without urea in the US. Passat has it and gets slightly better mileage because the Jetta/Golf actually sprays extra fuel through the system to burn out the filters in a system known as "regeneration" which is one reason pushing me toward the Passat instead of the Jetta. Some people report negative experiences driving during regeneration. I suspect my driving style (run 'em hard) will make it not such a big problem.

No thanks. Gerry Snip.....Compared to the gas-powered Cruze, you also lose a couple cubic feet of rear cargo space thanks to a 17-liter diesel emission fluid tank. That urea fluid, which helps put the clean in clean diesel, will need to be refilled at least every 10,000 miles.....snip http://www.autoblog.com/2013/02/07/2014-chevy-cruze-diesel-arrives-with-42-mpg-for-25-695/ _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
