it's probably about a wash. you get better mileage, but not twice. I used to have a VW golf with a diesel, and it got about 50 MPG. but a lot of that was because it was small, and had little power, 87 HP I think. and now I believe you have to put an additive in it every couple tanks. factor in the cold weather issues and higher cost of repair and ownership and I don't think you'll ever see them becoming widespread.
