Ahh! 5.5l V8s etc - anything like that in the UK and we would be utterly stuffed - it's already $9/US gallon over here converted! Though the 95 Octane Regular and 98/99 Octane Super is nice for insane levels of boost.

I drive a Nissan Micra 1.3i 16V - joke but it gets me round and 45mpg helps my bank balance. Possibly getting a Peugeot 306 DTurbo in the near future, though.

if your looking at the pug tdi go for the smaller 206. my friend has one and is only paying £40 a year tax!!!! plus he is getting 50-60mpg too. my passat tdi is doing 50-55 but im paying £115

A navi is im work, but the VW RNS-510 it's so costly (about 2.000€ or $3.150). :shakes:

The 206 sucks for the HDi units as they don't run nice on Veg Oil and they are ECU controlled and I have heard alot of bad stuff about them - the DTurbos with Mechanical Fuel Injection are easy to tune and with the Bosch injector pumps run absolutely GREAT on Veg Oil, though I think they are about £70/year on tax - though I will check.

@deepsiver - It still can't beat a manual for fun though - after driving manuals all my life now I would never go back to an Auto/Tiptronic for anything - not half as much fun.

I want an Audi A6 with DSG, but it's a pain in the ass to find one in the Pacific Northwest :down:

the issue with vegetable oil is it has alot of glycerine which will clog the injectors. look on ebay and google for "bio diesel kits" - they filter out the glycerine, resulting in a super lubricated fuel, which they recon will reduce engine friction that little bit more

as for the 206, i dont work on cars but they seem popular. if you can afford it though, get a german diesel - i havent looked back since (well except for the m3 and scooby's)

I got the chance to drive a Passat for one week with DSG .... now I own it. :D
Normaly I would by a navi, but I have no regrets about it. :)

I have no problems to shift manual, but the DSG is so neat and makes also a lot of fun. :up:

I thought the DSG had paddle shifters? Or am I just not seeing them?

Anyone notice how badly the newer Ford F-150s depreciate? Not that it's a BAD thing, but it's worth mentioning...

Well lets see... first off it's a domestic. Domestics depreciate about 900000x faster than imports. Second, gas isn't cheap and apparently the penis factor of owning a big truck you never use for hauling/trailering isn't worth 4 dollars a gallon.
