Big T: I drive zillions of miles every year. Have done this for most of my adult life. About 25 years ago, I got hooked up with a VW "Rabbit" diesel. Great auto. A bit lacking in power, but remarkable mileage and extreme reliability. Have driven VW Golf diesels ever since. Incidentally much of my earlier mileage involved towing, which is hard on a car. Never had any problems. VW diesels have sported turbos for many years now and they make a huge difference to the torque. Aside from outstanding mileage, these autos are also very inexpensive as far as maintenance is concerned. Change the oil and filter regularly and stick a new timing belt in every 125,000 Km and that is about it. Usually buy a new one very four years after having accumulated 350,000 to 450,000 Km. Mileage has remained outstanding, even as the power output has increased over the years. I usually get about 1,000 Km per tankful (which is about 13.5 US gallons).... more if I drive anywhere near the speed limits (which is rare). (g). Best, Earlie
