guess, for the speeds or distances involved out here.


Speeds are generally much higher in Europe than the western US.
Additionally, take the range of a Volkswagen Jetta TDi - it'll get
around 700 miles off a tank of diesel. It will also give good power in
the mountains, I have friends in Utah who love their TDi. My Dad's last
diesel, a Peugeot, lasted over 350,000 miles.

A Volkswagen and a Puegot? Goddamn things come with mechanics? Ain't
no place to get them fixed around here.
