I saw the promo model on the lot and the EPA rating was something like 41 hwy?

Now, is this because of the "new" epa ratings and/or more emissions junk? Because that is a big drop from 50 in the 99-04 models.

I'm sure this has been discusses before, but to me it seems you can beat on a diesel and get good mileage whereas a gasser the slightest change in driving has a huge impact on it. (newbie to diesels, btw )
