Got any more info on that tax credit? With $4k off a new Jetta or Passat starts to look real interesting to me. Maybe even a Liberty with the Italian diesel, esp if they get the 6spd manual shift in it.

Makes sense as I have read transportation shifts to rail in economic downturns...the refineries would have tweaked their refining for less diesel, now as demand has been lowly rising (as you observe in Charleston), I can see how there really could be a shortage...Oil Co's were too slow on "correcting the correction." 2nd para: good point. It makes it easier to achieve BioD and DinoD "parity", but my point was gasoline/diesel disparity...I wonder, even with the $4,000 tax incentive to buy a new diesel, how many people have NOT bought a diesel b/c of the higher price of diesel fuel (that would still be stupid, though because the difference is made up by the greater economy of diesel vehicles) to say nothing of the $4000 credit on the new vehicle. Makes me want to buy a 320 CDI :-) (want and afford are two different things). __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
