Just filled up the tank with 91 octane premium fuel

Speaking of diesel: I was at a gas station in SE Idaho the other day, fueling up my 22 ton boom truck. I was astonded to see they were offering straight diesel ($3.86 per gallon), off road/non dyed (and you do NOT want to get caught with that in your tank) for $3.64, and lastly bio diesel for $3.86. The owner of the station must be a diesel freak! As everywhere else was elling diesel for $3.97 or higher, I was a happy camper.

A few days earlier, while also fueling the boom truck, I struck up a conversation with a VW Jetta driver: 47 to 49 MPG, and he had over, well over, 200,000 miles on it. Without even doing the math (in general higher priced diesel V. gasoline) the Yaris compares well...( in the low 40's, my own results) plus I trust Toyota more then VW!

NICE!!! Yeah, its hard to even FIND off road Diesel here in VA, much less without any dye in it. Its SO funny you mention a VW diesel... I was ON MY WAY to the stealership to BUY a VW diesel that I had ALREADY test driven a couple days earlier but I had read SO many bad things about EVERYTHING other than the motors on these cars that I just didnt feel comfortable doing it. I figured that Id swing by the local Carmax to see what they had first walked right PAST the Yaris that I actually ended up going back and buying 4 days later. Went across the street to the VW, Subaru place and some guy came in with a diesel Jetta and couldnt say enough about how much of a turd it was and thats all it took for me. Went across the street to the Toyota joint, test drove a new Yaris (on my wife's suggestion, because she saw the one at Carmax ), went back to Carmax and bought mine for $5k off of sticker with 12k miles on it.
