Since last august I've been raving on and on about my MPG with my 2012 PiP and it finally got to him.....Dad is 79yrs young and currently owns a 09 TDI Jetta and His wife owns a 06 Prius. The TDI is an awesome vehicle to drive and 40mpg overall is nothing to sneeze at. But I kept rubbing in my MPG and he has been growing tired of the costly diesel. So last week i mentioned to him the huge incentives here in NY state, and today he called me telling me he is getting a 2013 blizzard pearl PiP and picking it up next week.... I told him I would work on selling his TDI for him. He is very excited!
Gas just dropped to $3.19 here. Diesel has been holding steady at $3.99 We need to keep spreading the word. Owner endorsement is a powerful influence... My 77 MPG average is well out of reach for any traditional diesel.
congrats to dad! my 92 year old father would like to have one, but he's six months here and six in florida and doesn't want to deal with it.
Less here (central Virginia) for diesel fuel, but way more than unleaded premium. Been a diesel owner since 1999, and the high cost of diesel got old a long time ago. Always good to hear gas prices are down, but it's always short lived.
