Yeah spending an extra $8k to get 5mpg makes sooooo much sense. 
I can honestly say in today's market if I were MB shopping I would not consider a diesel. |
How long would it take to recoup the cost if you were paying only 85 cents a gallon? And how would you feel about not ever having to buy any more oil from those wonderful people in the Gulf States.
I'm paying 85 cents a gallon for Used Vegetable Oil. I just stick it in my 1982 300D and go... A 1987 300TD Wagon can carry seven passengers in relative comfort and can also be modified to run on vegetable oil. You know what I’m talking about… the incredible ride and comfort of the estate wagon running at 85 cents a gallon. Think about it...
