Yep. If you like the torque, but usually limit yourself in that rev
range a 90/110 TDi will feel just like the V6 and give you 50+ MPG. The
110 would be a bit better as it spins up a bit quicker. Mind you, by
1500rpm either one will be nicely on boost.

If this was the case, there would be alot more than 2 mpg to worry about.
