Diesel Dodge Dart Concept

I don't dislike TDIs! I convinced my sister to buy one when she was putting 130 highway miles a day on her car. If I live 5 miles from my work so it would be silly for me. I have also been a diesel truck owner (2005 duramax) but no matter how I did the math it just never saved money so I sold it.

Ps, what I really was responding to here was exaggerations. 1/2 the fuel cost over another small car? 300hp with a few bolt ons? And now I have to question a 550 hp Cummins. Not that they don't exist but here in lies the problem I see so much on the diesel boards (which I frequent about 1/2 as much as here) just add up the manufactures claims for each bolt on and voila! You have your trucks horsepower rating! Again, not talking specifically about anyone here it's just VERY common in the diesel community.
