Ouch! But at least 'my particular' biodiesel TDI has been EuroTuned. (the reason the American TDIs are detuned coming from Europe is to meet EPA emissions running the current rot gut D2. Look for some improved performance as biodiesel and ULSD enters the fuel stream. BTW the new Mercedes E class CDI diesel performs better than the gas model and still gets 38 mpg. That's a nice size car with outstanding performance to be able to get that kind of mileage. (I'm still not giving up my TDI)
