Nice color combo No more Costco fill-ups with a diesel though - I had to make a few detours when I had my TDI.

Basically it destroys the HPFP (due to lack of lubrication) and that results in metal fragments being sent through the fuel system. All of it needs to be replaced and $8k is the number I have seen. Terrifying indeed.Mrs. Mango is pretty good. I used to get calls from her from the gas station making sure she was putting in the appropriate octane. Better safe than sorry. Also, insurance on this about $400 more a year than the MDX.

Thanks FWIW I'll probably fill it for her for the first while out of fear.
