lol at newsflash.
I get about 32 in my 1.8T but I am lead to believe if you dont have the undertray you get a few less miles per galon.
I agree with the onc eyou get a diesel you will want a petrol. I sold my Nissan 200sx Turbo due to fuel costs, bought a 106 diesel and was bored sh!tless so bought a 306 diesel and kept saying Minicab

I think the new PDI engines are much smoother and quieter but I do prefer my 1.8T now. Best of both worlds, not too bad on juice and fairly swift even before a remap.
