When I watched a Jetta with "TDI" on the trunk pull out in front of me
yesterday (illegally), I rolled my eyes in anticipation of having to smell
diesel exhaust for the next 8 miles (the likely distance before I'd have an
opportunity to pass). I neither smelled nor saw anything in those 8 miles
that would lead me to suspect the car had a diesel in it. Diesel engines
have come a long way since the black plume-spewing 1978 Rabbit my friend
Mark sometimes drives. But he gets 45 mpg in it, and pays about 70 cents
less per gallon for his fuel than I do -- all this being US dollars and
gallons. And miles. (Does anybody else still use miles?)
