DH desparately needs a new car, of this there is no doubt. His is very old and has well over a hundred thousand on the clock. It has no power left and can hardly overtake a tractor. He drives about 1/2 hr to work and back each day.
I'm now a SAHM as our 2 youngest are not at school and DD3 has reflux and food problems so money is fairly important.
DH and DBIL (a mechanic, but a petrol head also) are trying to convince me that a Golf DTI with a performance chip will be more economical (than without the chip.) But is it going to be as fuel economical as a normal (ie, not boy racer) diesel car. BTW I think DH is having a semi midlife crisis so go easy on him. I just need facts and figures to argue the case with this pair of aging petrolheads!
