You Know You Drive a Diesel When....

So, I am a female diesel driver. I don't have a huge truck, but rather a VW Jetta. I love my little car, but I do get a lot of funny looks from the truck drivers when I pull my little 4-door up to the diesel tank at different gas stations. Anyway, you know you drive a diesel when...

1. Your friends ask you why your car sounds like a Mac Truck.

2. You pay a dollar more per gallon than gasoline drivers have to.

3. You get stuck behind trucks that are carrying farm equipment in the back when you are trying to quickly fill your 12 gallon tank.

4. You wonder if your loud engine wakes the neighbors when you leave early in the morning.

5. You only get your oil changed every 10,000 miles (that's definitely a plus!)

6. When you take your car to the shop because it doesn't work right, you get asked if you are putting the right kind of fuel in the tank...(the worker wondered if I was putting gasoline in my diesel tank)
