Thanks Trap, ya I'll definately check in. Not only was it hard to leave my V, it was hard to leave my house, I just built my dream house there, watched it be built all winter and then as soon as it was done, moved in and 2 days later I'm heading back up north. Oh well, I'm anxious to get out sailing in Newport, nothing like it. My plan is within a couple years to move to fla full time, hence the dream house. The V'dub is running great, averaging 47 mpg on my trip back and no problems, very tight car and comfortable, great travel car. Getting diesel is a little more of a pain in the butt though. I was in NC today trying to get fuel and there was one pump, somebody parked with a lawn car equipment trailer that was shooting the bull out in front of the store and on the other side there was 18 wheeler that had a huge tank and was taking forever. When I finally got up to the pump after the 18 wheeler left the nozzle would not fit into my tank, it was one of those huge truck nozzles with the big fat hose, so I tried the other side of the pump, nope, that one was smaller, but it was a gasoline nozzle on the diesel pump, starting 2013 vw put a lockout on the tanks to keep gas nozzles from fitting in the tank, so that was a no go too, one nozzle was too big and the other too small, lol. I found diesel down the road (more $$$) that had the correct auto diesel nozzle. So ya, you gotta work for the money savings.
