I have a diesel Oldsmobile 98 4-dr. It is a 1981. It gets about 28 mpg on the highway@ 70 mph and 17 in the city. Remember this car is a tank and 28 mpg @70 mph was a miracle back 30-yrs ago.
The original engine blew in 2001 @ 150,000-miles. Now it is on engine #2 with right at 70,000-miles of trouble free driving.
Very few cars that are 31-years old still have the same engine.
I wonder if the new Ultra-low sulfur diesel hurts older diesel cars?
@01fastrace My father had a 1979 Toronado diesel; a 1980 Cutlass Calais diesel; and a 1981 Cutlass Supreme sedan diesel. They were great cars. A bit loud, but great! Ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel is safe for use in all diesel engines.
Also in europe we are making biodiesel, it is from plants , no more oil needed to make diesel look in google for that. It smels like pankakes when car is driving with it So peples in usa will know about it after 10 years.. Because in eourepe all new cars 80 % are diesels...
Diesel is the Same price as Gas where I am. and I was able to travel 779 miles on 14.5 Gallons of diesel. That around 56 MPG for my trip. VW has the best car for the money with there TDI models.
Try 40+ with my jetta TDI....
