50k proves nothing. Have you opened up the engine to check out the condition inside? If someone drives a good 250k on wvo with no issues, then I'll be a believer. Until then, I have seen too many engines ruined by people running it.

It is not even worth running WVO at the current fuel prices. Why bother? I drive 35k a year and it is still not *that* expensive. If you can't afford to put diesel in your car you need to be driving a 50Mpg Geo Metro, not a Mercedes.
