You guys need to read below \/

Deisel was just as high as gas and higher at one point, so diesel isnt always better also.

The 2.5 can only travel 326 miles per tank, while the TDI can go a whopping 496 miles.

So how does that factor into your gas budget? While it will cost you $4.83 more to fill up the TDI, you'll still save over $300 in fuel per year, assuming you drive 15,000 miles.

Still won't match the 45/48 mpg.....

Diesels also fare well against hybrids. USA TODAY reporter David Kiley drove a Volkswagen Jetta TDI from Detroit to Washington, D.C., then took a Toyota Prius for the return trip. He found that the Jetta beat the Prius in fuel efficiency, and reported that the Jetta finished the trip on one tank of fuel, while the Prius couldn't.

PS. new TDI are underrated b/c gov regulations won't allow them to state higher numbers - not only better mpg but wai better looking than prius

But the TDI won't give you a 'tax break' will it?
