Well now.....my TDi Syncro gets 28 mpg at 70-75 mph [that equals a 500-mile
range in a Syncro], and has gobs more power than a waterboxer and is a true
delight off-road with torque WHEN you need it, not when the [wbx] engine
finally decides to wake up. PLUS, I can run renewable fuels [biodiesel] and
'trash' fuels [waste vegetable oil] while emitting up to 90% LESS harmful
emissions. Oh, and no tuneups needed, no electronics other than one wire to
turn the fuel flow on. But then my TDI isn't the ordinary electronic
model.... :-)

Can anyone tell me why one would want to got to the trouble and expense of
installing a diesel in their van vs staying with a gasoline engine????

Gasoline here in my are can be bought at $2.08.9/gal. , while diesel costs
$2.25.9/gal.

Sure doesn't look like much incentive for going diesel.

Thanks,
