MMmm those are some pretty good fuel economy numbers. I was wondering
how long it would take you to stop driving the Dak daily :) high fuel
costs suck don't they hehe
I just wish this Neon was a 5 speed like your Jetta. The Neon has only
a 3 speed auto - as I discovered. That suprised me a bit that it didn't
have a 4 speed at least. How does the Jetta handle on the highway?
Lots of road noise or quiet? This neon - being the typical older Gen I
neon - has the Wind Noise From Hell with the "half doors" and no top
door frame. I'm planning on doing a weather strip replacement soon. For
now I just turn the radio up.
Only thing I woud think about with a diesel today is that diesel is more
money per Gal over regular unleaded. However if you are getting 35+ mpg
- I suppose that higher cost isnt an issue.
I've done 108 miles with the neon already and I've used about a quarter
of a tank (11.5 gal tank I think) With the Ram - I'd already be at half
a tank (25 gallon can)
