Be aware that fuel economy on new TDIs goes way down in the winter. Yes, there was a relfash - VW trying to appease the EPA - but it doesn't seem to affect fuel economy much.

How long is your drive to work?

Take a look at my fuelly, you'll see our Passat's fuel economy tank when it gets cold out. Every time it's cold started it uses extra fuel to warm the emissions components.
