nice, the best part is you can pour your old fryer oil in the tank and drive off :)

@arreshavoc you couldn't see golf V with 1.8t badge anywhere in the world

[arreshavoc]

@TheKenjoje Even in Australia? I could have swore I saw this when I was there... Oh, well.. Thanks for not flaming.

[TheKenjoje]

@arreshavoc you are wrong because 1.8 t was dismissed when golf IV ended its life

[arreshavoc]

@TheKenjoje If I remember the show right I believe it was a 1.8t vs 1.9tdi

[arreshavoc]

@scratchyrice Oh, I mis-read what you posted. I didn't know mazdas had turbo diesels. I might look them up. I also have a 1.6 diesel suzuki samurai. I lover gassers until I purchased my first diesel a year ago. My jetta fits my driving style perfectly plus I get 50 mpg which means a lot more road trips.

@arreshavoc When i said "They are more reliable" I was referring to diesels btw haha

[scratchyrice]

@arreshavoc Indeed, I have a turbodiesel mazda, no problems whatsoever.

[arreshavoc]

@scratchyrice Diesels are more reliable..... I have 500K on my TDI Jetta and at my work over a million miles on a few trucks.... without any major work. Diesels will start in below zero weather with a few tweaks.

well, we don't know key stuff such as, what petrol and what diesel were compared, is it 1,6 and 1,9 tdi or 2,0 and 2,0 tdi
