I get about 41 mpg on the freeway and had expected at least 60mpg and expected to get 41 in the city and I get 32mpg in the city so I am a very unhappy disappointed owner of the TDI Jetta VW and would not recommend if you are buying for the fuel economy cause you wont get it.

By the EPA numbers of combined mileage for both, with current local gas prices, they are both 8 cents/mile. At the same price per mile I would much rather be driving a Jetta than the Mazda, it has more room, is more luxurious, and has more power, a lot more power! If go back to the summer gas prices where gas was $4.05 and diesel was $4.95 the gasser was 16.8 cents/mile and the diesel would have been 14.5 cents/mile. You say that is a two cent difference but at 20,000 miles a year that is a savings of $463 a year. If you skeptics think fuel prices are going to stay low for ever and we are out of the energy crisis, I hope you are right, but I don't think that is the case. As for using bio-fuels, this is a quote from the Wikipedia biography on Rudolph Diesel (inventor of the diesel engine), "The diesel engine has the benefit of running more fuel-efficiently than gasoline engines. Diesel was especially interested in using coal dust or vegetable oil as fuel, and his engine in fact ran on peanut oil."
