Yeah, I love it. Most fun to drive vehicle I've ever owned. If you knew my story, it's all I really have. I have to take care of it. Not going to put crap fuel in it and watch it break.
@bg_2007Q7 I don't know your story and I do wish you well. You're exactly right in putting good fuel into it. Sometimes it hurts to put *that* much money into the tank. First time my fill up topped $100 that hurt a lot!

I just want to apologize. I never meant for this post to start an argument between competing sides. Because that is l exactly what the powers that be want, a people divided amongst themselves. For, if we are constantly fighting one another, no progress in the name of good can be achieved. I really don't care what party you support. It's your choice. Personally, I believe both are corrupt to the core.

So for what it's worth, I'm sorry. If the mods want to delete this thread, so be it. Its pointless to promote a worthless war amongst one another. Just imagine what we could achieve, if the people, the majority, came together as one, and took the power back from the few.

While I'm happy for TDI owners, you've been paying way too much for way too long. But this is really uncalled for.
In the Shuswap lake area of BC Canada we are paying 1.64 CAD per liter x 3.78 which is 6.19 CAD for a US gallon. Convert that to USD and we are paying 4.60 which is not bad. You go to Vancouver and they are paying over 2.00 CAD per litre. Fortunately I can make it there and back in less than 1 tankful. so I never pay their price. Prices were worse according to my receipt here so it's not all doom and gloom.

How did the title to this thread change? I never put "diesel fuel price" in when I created the post...

You've got nothing to apologize for. And now that I know a bit more about your situation, *I* apologize. My initial remark was offbase and insensitive.

As I mentioned to you privately, you never know what someone else is facing until you ask or make a connection.

Mods changed it to diffuse the post. As it stood it read like a first world problem whining post, hence some of the initial responses. There seems to be a backstory to your post, so maybe wanna lead with that to give it context.

We have mods?

I'm genuinely shocked because of all the MkII posts here.
