I thought you'd read that bit... the 2008 diesel jetta hasn't been rated yet, but it's supposed to have better mileage than the older TDI, and the weight should be similar to the 2.5.

Why do you call it dino diesel when it comes from fishes and things like that not dinosuaurs?

Yes, the more accurate term would be "fossil fuel derived diesel," or the more casual "petrodiesel," but I didn't find that relevant and was trying to maintain consistency with the post I was replying to.
