I have a Volkswagen Passat Turbodiesel (TDI) that burns little over 5 liters per 100 kilometers. The car has over 140BHP and performs brilliantly. Each winter I take it into the mountains to ski and leave it parked outside in the Alps, Tatras, wherever.

Add to that, the fact that it will run on the used oil from a French Fry machine...

I'm sold on diesel.

PS- Just calculated that in MPG:
approx 5.5liters/100kilometers = just over 40MPG
