You should take note that the EPA values for the 2009 TDI are way underestimated. You can have a look over at TDIclub.com in the fuel economy forum there is a thread just on this subject.
It would be foolish to plan 10 years of fuel usage based on the current cost of gasoline vs diesel. The higher the price of gas, the lower the % difference between the two fuel. The added cost for usld does not scale up with prices, it gets diluted.
After 10 years the TDI will be worth more by roughly the premium you paid to get the diesel.
And the diesel is just a lot more fun to drive. People buy hp, but they drive torque.
