I used to own a 2002 Golf 1.9 TDI diesel in Europe, which was also converted to run on bio-diesel. I had two gas tanks, so I could choose which fuel to use.
But anyways, I was averaging close to 45 mpg city. It had a lot of mechanical issues before 200,000 km, but when it came to fuel economy it couldn't be beaten - I would usually get close to 1,200 km in city driving.

Biodiesel sweet! Nothing like fuel for (nearly) free.

But I wonder what the future of economy cars is now that gas is sub $2...

Actually, this was in Serbia (eastern Europe) where bio-diesel is barely any cheaper than regular diesel. I only drove my Golf on bio-diesel once. My friend, who's a mechanic, said that he doesn't recommend it on newer cars.
