I have a 2003 VW Golf TDI. It is the diesel so I get decent mileage. I'm not happy that I've recently been down to 35 or 36 MPG, but spending a lot of time at stop lights and such due to the Minneapolis bridge collapse isn't helping things. I also should get the fuel filter changed.

I'm averaging 15,000 miles per year even with just a 25 mile a day commute. When I get up to 40 MPG I tend to drive places I never would in a vehicle that gets 20 or 25 MPG.

My other vehicle is a 1995 bus converted to an RV that gets about 8 MPG, but it was designed to take a lot of friends on trips so the fuel bill per person is small. It also is only driven 1/3 to 1/2 as many miles a year as my Golf.

I want to get a mid 90s F250/F350 diesel truck for a hauler, but my finances are tied up up in a new house right now.
