According to Edmunds.com estimates, the diesel gets an estimated 26 miles per gallon in the city and 35 miles per gallon on the highway, burning an estimated $1,343 a year in fuel. The gas version gets 19 miles per gallon in the city and 26 miles per gallon on the highway, burning an estimated $2,093 per year in fuel -- $750 more than the diesel.|||Usually diesels get better mileage.

This means it will take a lot more miles before you pay off that initial extra cost.|||A diesel will get better mileage than a gasoline car, at the expense of being slower off the line (you won't win many drag races)|||I have a 5-speed Beetle TDI and I get 45-49 mpg so yes, they get much better mileage. Diesel is a little more per gallon but you get much more out of a gallon than gas.
