Fuel economy story in the NYT -- --

Mileage will be better if you choose a smaller, four-cylinder engine
rather than the more powerful, heavier and thirstier V-6 or V-8
version. And the savings may be even greater if you choose a diesel
engine.
"Chemically, diesel fuel contains 10 percent more energy and diesel
engines are 30 percent more efficient than regular gas engines," said
David Greene, a fellow at the National Transportation Research Center,
which is affiliated with the Department of Energy and based in Oak
Ridge, Tenn. So even if diesel prices spike during the winter or when
hurricanes shut down refineries, you are likely to come out ahead.
The latest diesel engines, like the ones in the Volkswagen Golf TDI
and Jetta TDI, don't clatter or spew smoke the way diesel engines did
in years past. (New diesel-powered cars are not available in some
states, including New York and California, because of emissions
regulations.)
