I have a 97 VW Passat TDI with 150k miles on it. Which means the engine is just broken in. There is a community of Diesel lovers (wwww.tdiclub.com and www.cincitdi.com). I routinely get about 42 mpg running around town and going to work. On the high way I get upwards of 52 miles to the gallon. I am 6' 5" tall, there is no way I would fit in one of those tiny gas burners that get ok mpg. Also I get better fuel economy than most of them anyway. I have never had a problem finding fuel nor does my car stink or make to much noise, most people don't know it is a diesel. I can also run it on 100% Biodiesel but even VW does not note this publicly. Biodiesel is the way to go... E85 is a joke and they need to make Biodiesel out of Algae instead of food products.
