    Re: Why the US needs to embrace DIESEL

    China is the main source of problem on a couple fronts and it comes down to their coal-burning electric plants that at one point were coming online at an astronomical rate of one per week. China has...

    Re: Why the US needs to embrace DIESEL

    Just as a sidenote, I wish that the military installations would offer diesel at the pumps instead of just gas. With a current 18 cent tax on diesel, that would make me want to fill up on base. My...

    Re: Got me a new DD

    ^ I bet that Jetta can still pull over 40 mpg.

    The thing that I love about diesel cars is that just about any mod you do to increase the power also increases the mileage, AFAIK.

    Re: Mysterious Wire........

    Re: Why the US needs to embrace DIESEL

    Diesel is really taxed by the government because the prime users are the truckers and so they justify the tax by the amount of wear the big rigs do to the interstate system roads. Unfortunately,...

    Re: Got me a new DD

    If you can wait for the 2012 models to come out, I would wait until about a month after VW's year-end clearance sale of all of their 2011 models, and then walk in and ask about the 2011 TDi's they...

    Scuba, be careful with the tip on that knife of yours. A buddy of mine just broke the tip off of his.

    European cars offer a diesel engine with just about every one of their cars and it's high time we in the US do the same. Diesel technology in cars has improved by leaps and bounds and you can easily...

    So from my understanding you're supposed to tweak the CSS so that it looks the same in all browsers?
