Thanks, guys.

I found the following article on the MPG of gas vs diesel. Wonder if Diesel MPG on the article is true or not.... Looking forward to testing out 35d this weekend!

"My experience is that gas-engine cars come close to the EPA ratings. Every diesel engine car I’ve driven does better on highway mileage than the EPA highway rating, and that’s usually without trying. Most recently, I got 50 mpg highway in a just-manufactured, not-broken-in Chevrolet Cruze diesel (EPA highway rating 46 mpg), just over 50 mpg in a BMW 328d (EPA highway rating 43 mpg), and 38 mpg mostly highway driving in an Audi A8L TDI diesel (EPA highway rating 34 mpg). In general, I found hybrids when I drove them to get a bit less than the EPA ratings and they also seemed more affected by driver behavior."
