Last fall, I trade my 2003 Path for a 2013 VW Touareg TDI (V6 turbo diesel, 8 speed tranny).

I wen't from Montreal to Florida last winter and I average a fuel economy of 13,5 L/100 km or 17,4 mpg US gal. I had the TT behind for 80% of the run.
Total of 8,170 km and 1103,8 litres of fuel. With the VISA and my old Path, for about the same trip in 2013, it was 18,8 L/100 km (12,5 mpg US gal).

I just love the torque and power of the TDI. And now, I don't reduce my speed anymore going up hill on interstates of NY and PA. I drive at 103-105 km/h all the time.
