The newest diesels coming from Honda, Subaru, Nissan, and yes, VW, are
purported to meet the same emission standards that are applied to their
gasoline conterparts.


Diesels can get upward of 30-50% or more fuel mileage plus equal and
sometimes more power. Take my Syncro, for instance...former WBX at 16 mpg,
now gets 28 mpg AND has far more power.
