I'm at 44.00 mpg lifetime now in my Jetta 5sp TDI over 32150 miles so
far.

With the ULSD now, soot concerns that the "dirty diesel" crowd have
should be taken care of, and whats the other downside?

Around Rochester now, regular is 2.85, diesel just went up to 2.84 or
so. it's lagged behind in price spiking as it usually does.
Hopefully now that the 15 Brits are home the prices will drop back
down. No doubt slower than they climbed though.
