It's not so much the mileage I'm thinking about with the M103 vs. M117 but the maintainance. The reletively indestructable timing chain on the M103... and the difference in power is not as great as the price premium would indicate.

Edit: Of course, if your going to putter around town, the diesel gives much better fuel return than the M103.
