I liked it back in the old days when car diesel pumps were way off by themselves separate from the regular gas pumps. You could pull in and out easy.

I hade to fuel my 300D at a truck pump once. It was an odd little gas station in some rural area and the only diesel they had was at a truck pump. Definitely fills the tank quickly.

Re: [MBZ] Diesel prices going back up
The auto box or the larger size of the Passat is seriously hurting mileage. Last week to PA and back my Jetta consistently turned in 51+mpg. We took it fairly easy on the way down but I flogged it on the way back. IIRC on the way down we did 51.7 on the way back it was more like 51.2. Traffic was pretty heavy both ways. This summer I'd like to run it up north and see what 2 hours (Bangor to Houlton, Maine) at 65mph would give. -Curt On Tuesday, May 3, 2022, 04:01:49 PM EDT, Allan Streib via Mercedes wrote: A gasoline Jetta with the 1.4 engine gets ~34mpg mixed, probably better on the highway.

Yep -- the same station that had $3.99 posted last night was $4.19 today. I found another station that was still at $3.99 and filled up.

That was probably 3.59 on less than 18 gallons when premium was 0.50 more than regular. In late 2011/early 2012 I paid $4-4.30 for premium, regular was $0.60 less.
