    Anyone know what type of mpg a car like this would get at 80mph? I'm thinking I might wait and get a hybrid diesel vehicle or hope that hydrogen cars get picked up so I can buy one of those.

    I can't give you exact numbers but it'll be doing better than most gasoline vehicles.

    So what's up with "blue" and diesel? "Bluetec", "BlueTDI", I don't get the reference.

    ECU reflash helps the most. Full exhaust helps too. Air intake helps zero, people love putting them on turbocharged cars but they do nothing. Intakes are for naturally aspirated cars.

    I guess I'm not up to date on what a reflash is. Could you please "reflash" me. Is it basically just a reset of the ECU?

    I have heard different about simple modifying to turbo cars

    Simple intake, and cat back exhaust has helped improved air flow. Improving the airflow is easy HP.

    I believe it is marketing, just as we hear about "green"... just that this is Deisel do I guess they wanted there own "new" name.
