Leroy,

I've heard you can run a diesel car on anything from vegetable oil to 
kerosene, but I stick with regular diesel. The VWs diesels can get 
around 50MPG. The new, higher compression engine they introduced in 
2004/2005 has slightly better performnce than the prior engine bug gets 
closer to 45MPG range.

I was fortunate in that I bought granpa's old place so I have some acres 
to play with the tractors on and I got a good price....
