New Car

Since some of the airlines are going to ask you to go to the bathroom before boarding, I thought I'd just as soon get me one of these cars and drive instead of flying . . .

The AdBlue tank requires refilling every 20,000km and costs about $140 a refill, which works out to roughly $7 per 1000km.

Translated that is refills every 12k miles or for me 280 bucks a year in addition to normal servicing costs. I think I will stick with my gas powered car, thanks. Either that or engineer it so I can just dump some more of the solution in the tank.

Just spit it out. What your saying is that is a piss poor excuse to buy that car.

I'd be somewhat concerned that malfunctions may result in a golden shower for the driver.

The ability to get about 30 to 40% better fuel mileage with a diesel over gas doesn't cause me a problem when it addresss the only real pollution issue that diesels have.
