<bigger>I just filled the '82  turbo-d for the first time since the new
engine.  Here's the poop...it went  401 miles on 12.43 gallons of #2.

I'm envious! That's why I'm planning to install a TDI next summer (need
the mileage for the trip to Tierra del Fuego). Any tips for us
gas-guzzlers retro-fitting a diesel INTO our boxes?
