What gets me is performance and good mileage are not mutually exclusive. I am VERY happy with the performance of my 98 TDI (it's chipped, so I'm at the Euro power levels and the intake is clean as a whistle). If I were so inclined, new nozzles would really get her moving. There are guys out there that have TDIs that will beat up on tuned VR6's. The power that can be made with the TDI engines is VERY impressive!
We are shopping for a car to replace my wife's Saab. It's so depressing to find that so few cars will do more than 30mpg on the highway.
