unleaded in Boulder = 2.89 per gallon, 33 mpg/$2.89=11.37 miles per gallon.
Cept I pay $3.49 a gallon and I doubt a gas JSW would get 33 in my to Westminster and back 4 days a week....at 65mph plus, then around Boulder. 55 mph on 36, bah!!!

I didn't get the TDI to save $, I got it cuz I love how it works, accelerates plus at 63, want it to be my last car. 20 years, 10,000 miles per year, easy.

Altho on a road trip to WI, almost 50 mpg.
