[urq] Future Audi : is there a TDI planned ?

[Cody Forbes]

The better mileage works out to the fuel being cheaper per mile in most 
cases. For example an A8 TDI gets 40mpg where a gas A8 is nearer to 20mpg. 
The fuel isn't twice as expensive, around here it's not much more than 93 
octane (maybe 40 cents per gallon more).
