What, with all the talk of insane gas prices lately, our resident Technobabbler has been looking into his options with Volkswagen TDIs: “I hate the smell of diesel fuel, I hate the clattering sound of diesel engines, I've never owned a Volkswagen, and oh yeah… I'm not really in the market for a new car. Legend has it, the diesel engine was originally designed to run on peanut oil. Mmmmmm, roasting peanuts… surely more aromatic than roasting petrol. These days, commercial biodiesel fuel – like Willie Nelson's BioWillie is made from corn.” Even GasBuddy is no friend these days; gas is just too expensive everywhere. Even so, I don't think our driving habits will change until it hits $5 a gallon. That day will come, my driving friends.
