I have a 2010 BMW X5d that gets a decent 27mpg right now. I am searching for better. I am purchasing a 2000 VW Jetta TDI that is reported to get 45mpg.

My main goal for being here is to find the best way to boost those numbers as fast as possible. I drive 128 miles a day to work and home. 98% of that is highway at 60&70mph.

I would really like to learn about water/meth injection, propane, cooking grease and compressed natural gas as fuel source or supplemental fuel sources. With current and projected fuel prices, I need to make this commute worth while.

I have 13 years of military service. 2 tours to Afghanistan. I teach Aviation Maintenance now.

Thank you,
Russell
