It's a bit surprising to see Audi promoting diesel through connecting it to political history (even taking shots at American automakers along the way). It's actually refreshing to see such a frank assessment (from a car company, anyway) of how our transportation choices have far-reaching and often unintentional effects.

Now if only Volkswagen and Audi would start bringing more diesel options to the North American market!

On July 15, 2004, I blogged about having reached 100,000 on our beloved Volkswagen Jetta TDI (read: Diesel). Well, today we reached the next milestone in mileage achievement:

Two things to note:

1. Yes, we did take this photo while driving 60 miles per hour.


2. The check engine light is on, but it's for something different than the check engine issue indicated in the 100,000 mile photo.
