[V8] LAC: Biodiesels, Diesels, TDIs' etc...

[dsaad at icehouse.net]

I don't think I have ever got over 18. I fall off the wagon pretty easy
though...
Normally I get 15-16ish. Worse when it is cold.

Just out of curiousity, I have given some thought to putting a different engine
in the ol V8 some day. I would be going for maximum mileage and not be worrying
about power. I rarely leave the city anymore so this is just a commuter car.
In about 20K miles, I am going to need a t-belt again and at that time I really
need to do a head job and perhaps even replace the rings. Given the expected
cost of all of this, it seems reasonable to think about something else. I am not
ready to give up the car though.

Any thoughts? Doesn't Audi have a V6 TDI? That would be fun.
