i saw two places at least tonight that advertised diesel for less than regular. probably with the road tax though it will be higher.

still it is good news.

probably means i wont be selling the 500 anytime soon. its short reign as an economy car is past.

oh well, it is too nice to sell for the going prices anyway. and from what i read in a european car mag the other day the prices for them are headed up for decent examples.
