Re: Diesel vs. Gas

YAWN...this is getting old...Love your fun diesel...or love your fun gasser...they cost $$$ either way, and how you mod them is a reflection of your personality...I love my torque and fuel economy!

Re: Diesel vs. Gas

as others have mentioned above, I cannot remember when I filled up (or at what price, reciept is in my glovebox somewhere I guess), have 1100km on this tank and I plan on driving this week on it.

It probably comes out of the wallet equally as fast.

Lol, certainly not a deterrent I'd consider.

Re: Diesel vs. Gas

I filled up 3.5 weeks ago. So I don't even know what fuel prices are right now.

I'm enjoying the $1.13/L for diesel this weekend how's the 91 octane?

Not as fast as 93, but faster than almost anything. Why do you ask?

Re: Diesel vs. Gas

George we should have actually raced today up to the speed limit. I think the mods we each have are somewhat comparable right? I have a tune, downpipe and SMIC and intake, you have an upgraded turbo and tune and straight pipe. Would have been a decent comparison at least i think.

Yeah, comparable mods, but until I get my tune 100%, I think you'd beat me...still some kinks to work out.

Re: Diesel vs. Gas

I have no reason to trade my car in for a newer one as there's nothing wrong with my tdis. Perhaps the new ones have issues, most cars do. Why would I trade my car that already gets 1200kms a tank highway with a boatload of torque for something slower and not quite as efficient? I wouldn't. The fact is, my tdi is 12 years old and has better fuel economy and torque than any gasser.

These high mileage diesels you all are hung up on are the old generations. I agree great cars and will be around forever. Just as in the case of the 06 tdi, that was very problematic after 150000kms, the used maket will be flooded with people disgusted with the repairs associated with the continued ownership of high millage new diesels when compared to gas.

I have yet to have a customer in a new tdi retain ownership long enough to fight in favor of the longevity of the new engines (i have 4 clients with over 200000 on the tsi engines and all that has needed to be done is the tensioner). The fsi cars just need the fuel pump follower every 80-100k (on good oil) but i could be wrong why dont you diesel die hards trade in your mk4 tdi for a high milage crd and find out ...

Also get back to me on how much worse on fuel mileage with the new car is. I will just keep finding more and more articles of respected journalists from around the world (because in N/A our media is bought and paid for with advertiser money) and prove to you guys the trend of economy is gasoline .

Re: Diesel vs. Gas

One thing they have a lot of here which seems a bit odd to me is diesel convertibles. I guess stock and unmodded they are not too smoky but seems like it has the potential to be a bit unpleasant at times, but Audi offers A5s in 2.0 and 3.0 TDI for the cabriolets.
