I had a 06 Jetta TDi the Car was great however it cost a lot to maintain the car. If you want a Jetta TDI get an 04 or older they cost less to maintain. There is no need to blow the money you save on fuel to keep it manintaned for the 05 and newer.
With the price of diesel right now A TDI will cost just the same or more the a gasser VW per mile.
Start looking at the cost per mile, that will tell you more about how much fuel you will use. If you drive a lot, lets say 100 miles a day or more then a TDI maybe better for you do to the fact you can put more mile on the motor compared to a gasser.
Right now with Diesel pushing 5 bucks a gallon, forget the TDI and get a gasser.
If you make your own Bio then by all means do it! If you want to run a Vegi-TDI they do great running on Vegi too.
