It was this last May. The car was a 2012. Must have been enough diesel still in the tank to make it work. We drove it from Mont Saint Michel to Rennes airport, almost 100 km. That was the closest Hertz.
I'm surprised that the Hertz people didn't go over the use of diesel in that car with you before you two dove off with it. Filling a diesel Jetta with gas can lead to a bill in the area of $6k (stealer repair price).
Hey Chet!Did you see the 'recall' on diesel Jettas? Seems folks need some extra stickers on their cars to keep them from putting gas in their diesels. VW is sending these yellow things out. I didn't get mine but I wish they would hurry the heck up! Where are my stickers, I COULD PUT GASOLINE IN MY TANK AT ANY MOMENT!
No good can come from this, methinks.
Short update. Just got the 20,000 (20,800 actual) mile service done. Still loving the car.
No idea. SWMBO dropped it of and picked it up. It has become her car
I hate that when that happens. I've essentially lost the Prius to the wife and I'm stuck with the Rav when I need a car to travel in.... So much so that I've ordered a new radio for it.
I shoulda seen it coming. With the sole exception being the C14 each and every new vehicle has ended up being hers. If she gets her MC endorsement I'm getting a lawyer
