I have been running my 1997 F250 on SVO for over a year now and am very happy with things. That being said, the F250 is not a fuel efficient vehicle. My partner in SVO processing has an F350 (also not particularly fuel efficient). I have begun shopping for a car to convert. Am leaning toward a VW (either Jetta or Passat). The Passat's are roomier, but substantially more expensive. Would appreciate any thoughts. Am leaning away from the Mercedes due to high maintenance costs (I am not a mechanic). Thanks.

vw 40mpg ...mb 23 mpg ... that is the question...
I have run both vw and mb ... parts and labor are about the same .... however I run a lot of used parts ... I am driving a 79 rabbit now 40mpg ... anyway good luck

In less you get something really old (nice Caddy on e-bay this week FWD 4.3) or something that is converted to diesel. Range rover conversion go from $10k-$20Kplus for a converted vehicle. I saw a GEO metro conversion for $7000 yikes!

The VW is your only choice in America. If you like basic reliable transportation get a jetta. Or learn to collect and filter a lot faster. And drive a truck.

I just sold an Isuzu P'up diesel for $4700 because is was in good shape and small.

The mileage difference is huge. Between a Jetta and a truck. But you still have to filter.

I figured it would be the Jetta, but it never hurts to ask
