--- Quote from: SubaruStephen on 14 Nov 2014, 07:26 ---It's not a TDI, I have a 30 year old Mercedes that I used to run on B100 bio-diesel, and the type of remark she made always come from people with gasoline powered cars. (Because they don't know that making bio-diesel is a lot cooler than just having a unicorn fart into the car's fuel tank)

Hrm.

Although, she brought up biodiesel out of the blue. It could be that she runs on petrodiesel but has thought of running B20 from a pump or something.

Then again, the newspost on that comic scares me, given how many TDIs have been ruined at the hands of Greasecar. And, WVO isn't biodiesel. It can be used to make biodiesel, but it isn't biodiesel. ;) Annoyingly, even some people that actually use WVO in their engines don't understand that distinction...

(My car's a 99.5 Golf TDI, for what it's worth. And, I run on commercial B20, except for one trip a year where I pass a station that sells B99 for cheaper than petrodiesel, so I fill up there every time I pass it.)

Of course, my suspicion is that most New Beetle owners don't even know what "TDI" stands for, and bought a 2.0 or maybe 1.8T instead. And, this might be the TDIClubber mindset, but among all the TDI owners I know, if anyone says "buy a tank of gas", there's a chorus of "a tank of fuel!"

So, yeah, I'm not sure on the engine any more.

Totally agree, April, and here's a general comment about perspective:

Anyone who is concerned or frustrated about the pacing of the comic, Please, go back and read the last 500 strips in one go. (or better, do the whole thing).

If this piques your interest about timeline and you want to get down and dirty, April's Passage Of Time thread is amazing and relevant.

But please don't slam Jeph for pacing without first checking out previous instances where he has microscoped a storyline (or even just a meal... jeez) to give us exposition.

I think you'll find that every time he's done it, we end up with needed pieces of content that weave back into the whole work.

HeavyP:
I just want to say that Claire's expression in panel 2 just makes this comic (and really the last few weeks) for me.  That girl is HAPPY.

I'm pretty sure Jeph is married and monogamous, so I'm thinking not.

Jeph and Cristi separated at the beginning of this year, according to Wikipedia. However, according to his happy Twitter posts, he's since met someone new.
