no gas mileage to blab about here... soon, everything I drive regularly will be diesel.

However, I'm mildly unimpressed with my TDi's mileage thus far [38-39MPG avg]... Granted, I need to fix some things to at least get it back to stock specs, and it should improve from there, but after seeing/hearing reports of 50-60 MPG coming from these cars, I find this particularly depressing.

Hopefully things will change come Spring. I will also be upgrading my cooling system to help retain heat in the winter, possibly enough heat retention to make cold starting after an overnight stay irrelevant.
