I just bought another VW, a 2000 Golf.  I bought it for the fuel type:  Diesel.

If 03 Passats had trouble with 87 Octane it would be all over the forums.
If you really want performance get fuel with no Ethanol.  My Prerunner
gets about 1-2 more MPG with non-Ethanol gasoline.
Leave it to the government to mandate higher fuel efficiency vehicles
while pushing crappier fuel on consumers.

I like driving my buddy's 05 Passat TDI.  It has a fuel economy
readout on the cluster.  When you stomp it the number drops.  When on
the interstate it reads in the 40s.

It is a crime that we do not get to chose from some of the Diesel
powered vehicles available in other countries.  C'mon, man, smart
cars?  Really?  Give us choice and let us decide what we want.
