EPA made VW change there diesel engine configuration in about 2005 where then the VW diesel quickly lost 20mpg from the previously years model or about 45mpg VS 65mpg in 2004.
In Jan 2011 I bought a new Ford Fiesta gasser that I've got one tank at 49mpg, and several in the 38+mpg range and nothing less than 36.5mpg. Keep this in mind tho as I'm im AZ where I'm still using AC today in the after-noon commutes. During the summer where AC demand is 100% I did pre-cool my car on every commute or just like you would have heating for a cold culminate area, or something I've never done in the past years. My body required more cooling this year and I was willing to pay for it and is one of my low fuel mileage problems.
You really need to do your homework to see if a diesel can beat out a gasser for fuel mileage on todays engines.
