I have to agree with Paul. Back in 1999 I visited the relatives over in
Germany. The mostly all drive diesels, from VW, Audi to Mercedes. The fuel
over there is so much better, you can't even notice your behind a diesel.
I own 5 vehicles:
94 YJ 193000 miles
94 Jetta 188000 miles
91 ECOdiesel 201000 miles
89 Golf 16V GTI 138000 miles
and finally an 86 Golf Diesel 284000 miles.
Today I finished doing a cambelt, tensioner, v-belts, water pump, thermostat
change on the 86. Last week I swapped out the coolant system on the YJ with
all new hoses, clamps and a 3 core all metal radiator. Sweet... I also just
bought a Banks Stinger cat back for the Jeep and that will go on when I get
some more free time. I also want to do a body mount swap but I am still up
in the are about the DayStar 1" body lift replacement kit.

WOW!!! I don't think you can do that with a gasser. :-) Maybe one of those
Japanese 1 million mile mobiles but that's about it. :)
