Newer diesels make a lot more power on less fuel than the older ones too. The

Compare that to 120hp out of the 3.0l 617 turbo. It also starts well in deep

I agree that crops as fuel doesn't make any sense but the future of
ethanol/biodiesel is algae based. They grow the algae in tanks fed on the
carbon dioxide output of power plants. Its a win-win, capture the carbon (and
presumably excess heat) coming out of the power plants and create a usable f

I fueled up my TDI at $4.59/gal last night, Angie scored $4.29. I'm tempted to
fill a couple 5 gallon jugs at that price. The stations in the "big city" just
