We are currently Diesel Jetta-less which is my intention to remedy. I do remember how sometimes I would simply forget to fill up since I could go over six hundred miles on a 12 gal. tank of fuel. Amazing car, fun to drive.

For those who worry about their paint, there are polyurethane coatings that will blend in with the color and protect the finish. Just apply them where the mud spray hits. Works like a dream.
