There really aren't any VW diesel drivers on here huh....?
99.5 - '03 Jetta and Golf Diesels ftw.
With hypermiling you can easily hit 55mpg - and you don't need to live without creature comforts and conveniences. (i.e. leather, all power options, fit & finish, quiet ride, etc). What really counts for some people is the 45mpg in ALL stop and go traffic.
Yes, diesel is about 10-15% more expensive/gal than gas. But the mileage return is even greater. Admittedly a little complicated to work on, and not the cheapest in maintenance (though the service intervals are much less frequent).
Oh and btw you don't need to use a single drop of imported petroleum for fuel either.
