Diesel engines

I know that there are only 32 of us on the forum so far. (August 2007)

Does anyone else besides me have a TDI (diesel engine) in their New Bettle?

I believe that Isaac has one, but he hasn't posted yet.

:-) I have a TDI beetle. Might have given it away with my username. I also have a Passat TDI. :-D

Well, I guess I make four. That makes just slightly more than 10% TDI powered Beetles in the group.
After a bit more than 200,000 miles, it is still running like new.

Hyojun:

I turned over to 230,000 miles this weekend.

I was out at Palm Desert on Sunday. On my drive back, there was a Prius that was playing with me. I do not think the Prius driver liked my bumper sticker. (Bumper sticker reads: 50 MPG, Batteries not required and is shaped like a large AA battery.) Yes I still can get over 50 MPG on the highway with the high mileage. My average in town and highway is right around 44 MPG. We were running along I-10 in a section that has a 70 MPH speed limit. Hit 80 a couple of times. I think the TDI will out accelerate the Prius above 60 mph. I have driven a Prius about a year ago and it does accelerate well but I think the TDI has better acceleration at highway speeds.

Where did you find the bumper sticker?
