[Vwdiesel] Braking -- engine etc. ( injection pump as a brake ? )

[TexasTDI]

43mpg average in my 1.6 Diesel.

45mpg average in my 1.9 TDI.

10k miles between oil changes in both vehicles using full synthetic 15w-40
oil.

Yes, I would say my VW's are efficient.

The reason I bring this one up has to do with the VW being
sold as "efficient" .
