...There are also downsides of diesels:
Starting in winter, smell, particulates in the air, and higher fuel
costs.

Additionally, the horsepower of one the VW tdi's you have is 90. A
gasoline powered car of the same size and year, such as the gas jetta,
 corolla, or a neon, gets 130-140 horsepower.. I am willing to give up
horsepower for mileage, but it is something to consider in the
equation.

You might want to bring yourself up to speed on modern diesel technology 
Ben, and the difference between horsepower (gasoline) and torque (diesel).
