Glad I found y'all. Been lurking and learning for a while here. Thanks for all the good info!!

Hoping to buy a Golf TDI. Purchased a new '79 Rabbit diesel for just under 8 grand and loved it for all of 311,000 miles. After 14 years the rustman consumed it. On a Boston to NYC run at 53-55 mph, no air,
windows closed, 5th gear, I was rewarded with 76 mpg. IIRC, it had all of 48HP.
