just traded in a vw diesel I bought 16 years ago and 346000 miles, what a car, 50 mpg over its life. Purchased a new golf wagon, disappointed that
I could not purchase another diesel vw. The new gas model is getting better than 38 mpg and is a great ride

I wish that my F 250 could get half of that 50mpg but then you can't tow a 30' fifth wheel with a Jetta. ;)

President Trump's administration is presently changing very many of the EPA rule & regulations that created this mess, so one day soon, all these cars may be on the road again in the USA and other countries too.

Wonder if the oil companies have anything to do with this, behind the scenes, 50mpg is not good if your selling fuel.

I met a man 40 years ago that was on his 5th 'non oil based' engine fuel copyright. As he stated then....it only has to prove 'it can work' and he gets paid a lot of cash to sell the rights to the oil industry. I often wonder how many times he got away with it!

... so failing the emission test is not as important as getting better mileage on the open road. The issue is mute and moot because overall performance is more important...
The only ones good mileage helps are the owners. Bad air hurts everyone.

I was at the Auto Wreckers the other day and they were crushing brand new VWs, only they they removed were the tires ..
