Watching the latest FutureCars on Discovery channel, I was amazed when they showed a High School project car that looked much like a Lambroghini, did 0 - 60 in 5.5 secs, got 55 mpg, and was powered by a 1.9 L diesel running on B100.
I'd bet this episode will run again watch for it.

So it was a VW TDI?
I can believe it if that's the case. They get 50-60 mpg stock and from what I read are just as responsive to computer tuning as the PSD. Put it in a custom vehicle that is lighter than your run of the mill Jetta with custom tuning and those numbers are easily believeable.

The oil is synthetic castrol usually about $80.00 for oil and filter change. We bought it new and spent the extra $900 for all the service till it hits 50,000 miles. They change everything plus at 2 years they flush and change the brake fluid. Once I hit 50k I will do most all of it myself. I do all the work on my 97 powerstroke with cookies help. Now I just gotta find someone on the VW TDI forum to be my guru there. Jeep1947

Check this site out, jeep. http://www.tdiclub.com/ It's the VW version of FTE. Lots of good info.
We have an '05 Passat wagon, 2.0L TDI. AFA oil changes, 5 liter jug (holds 3.7) for 35.00, oil filter 7.00. I do the maint. on it, as well as the Exc. It's sorta an enjoyable hobby.
