I remember back in the early 80's my Father bought a rabbit diesel, as not only did it get great mileage per gallon, but, it was cheaper too . . . that did not last long though . . .

I currently only buy diesel for the school bus I drive, as soon as my amputated finger heals enough to wrench again, (Hopefully in a few more weeks . . .) I have to change the plugs & an exhaust gasket on my gasser p/u. then sell it, so I can get a diesel MB!
