The only sensible reason to buy a new diesel today is in a truck where
you need the torque for towing or hauling heavy loads.
The auto box or the larger size of the Passat is seriously hurting mileage.
Last week to PA and back my Jetta consistently turned in 51+mpg. We took it
fairly easy on the way down but I flogged it on the way back. IIRC on the way
down we did 51.7 on the way back it was more like 51.2. Traffic
A gasoline Jetta with the 1.4 engine gets ~34mpg mixed, probably better on the
highway. So here, with unleaded at $3.99, that's 11.7 cents/mile. The diesel at
42mpg with fuel at $5.19 would be 12.3 cents/mile. So there's no fuel cost
savings driving a diesel any more. The higher energy content
42 mpg driving from Phoenix to San Diego, average 38.4 mpg driving from SD to
LA and back (stupid, ridiculous traffic (stop and go…mostly stop) then stupid
speed keeping up in traffic (85-90mph).

An oil distributor in Ohio said this a couple of days ago:
Diesel prices are straight up street price margin grabs.
Wholesale diesel is $3.89 ish right now.
that’s raw wholesale cost. No taxes - state or fed - added in. No
freight or margin in.
Just simply raw wholesale cost.
Major gas
Yep -- the same station that had $3.99 posted last night was $4.19 today. I
found another station that was still at $3.99 and filled up.

At least that diesel Passat should get good mileage.
