Now speaking car's my friends TDI get like 50 mpg compared to my 34 mpg so the cost saving for him is almost double, due to the maintenance being more comparable with my car.
Those TDI's are insane for mileage. That car is probably the most underrated for mpg of any car I've seen. Gov't gives them 30/41 but everyone I know who has one is pulling closer to 35/50 in honest mileage.
