I thought when we invaded Iraq we were going to get something out of it? The whole world claims we did it for oil and gas prices have only risen since. Where are the benefits of being part of the 'evil empire', I want to be able to at least live up to the rest of the world's complaining and cruise effortlessley across the highways in huge vehicles on CHEAP gas!

Don't forget teh all cow leather interior, baby seal skin hubcabs, sucking down hamburgers in the old fashioned non-biodegradable styrofoam containers and throwing them out the window, getting 2 miles per gallon

I cant complain too mutch really i guess.

My Truck cruises down the road getting an average of 16mpg CITY and 18mpg Highway Not bad for a 3/4 Ton 6000lbs BEAST.

But when the pinch is on i'll stick to the VW and putt hapily along getting my 45mpg CITY.

I personally HATE all the current NEWS coverage on Fuel wise vehicals as they all PRAISE these "NEW" Hybrids and completley Fail to mention the Bloody diesels.

Heres some FACTS for ya:

VW Golf TDI 1.9L Turbo intercooled Diesel get 4.6l/100kms and is FULLY LOADED for $26,000CDN. Further more if run on Bio Diesel (No modification needed) it is Cleaner to run than the hybrids. (Ie. Better for the enviroment). Also maintanece is Simpler and ALOT cheaper on a VW Diesel then that p a Hybrid Toyota or Honda).

Toyota Prius gets 4.0l/100kms and retails for $31,000CDN BARE BONE.

Tell me How is it that these hybrids keep getting som mutch praise. They get LITTLE to NO milage improvments over the diesel yet cost $5000CDN more for a lesser vehical. They are GUTLESS were as the New TDIs are pretty peppy STOCK and DANG quick with some cheap mods. AND the Diesels are CAPABLE of being Better for the enviroment and can run on a Completly Renuable fuel sorce. WHAT the heck this seems to be a NO BRAINER yet the typical DUMB NorthAmerican refuse the Diesel superiority.

[amrani]

the reason hybreds are getting praise is because they are newer, and also, biodesil (i know i cant spell) is not available everywhere, as regular gasoline is.

[Bear_Claw]

Then does it not make sence for goverment to Push for the Diesel spread over the Hybrids?

[mcveighr]

Just make a Diesel hybrid.

Diesels are much more commun in Europe than in North America.

[Glickman]

ahh biodiesel. thats the stuff made out of a corn extract no?

I drive a 97 4.6L Thunderbird sport. While having some preformance parts and having to run 93(custom chip) I pay around 2.39 a gallon. I get 350ish miles off my tank, and I fill up 2 times a week...So at 70.00 a week in gas...its getting annoying. But its my choice for driving a gas guzzling V8 tbird and "modding" it but owell, I'll deal with it. I'd still rather drive this car than some pos geo or honda.
