After running the numbers again I have decided to hang on to the Alti for now.

I am going to do the belly pan and grill block as soon as I get a decent weekend to do the work. Also planned would be a suspension drop (1.5-2") along with full moon wheel covers and new tires.

I got 32.68 on my last tank, if I can start getting 35-38 consistently with the aero mods I think I will be fine. My big concern is maintenance costs. My Alti is mechanically flawless and only has 117,000km, I figure I can drive it to at least 250,000 - 300,000 km with little to no maintenance costs. The other issue is most of the TDI's is my price range are miled out at 200 - 250,000 km.
