I think the power/mpg thing doesn't necessarily apply to diesel engines, since they always use only enough fuel to stay running under a given load... Besides, I've personally seen a 200ish hp (based on track times and some math) Jetta EcoDiesel still getting 50mpg regularlyon tank to tank averages.
