Have you seen the price of diesel? Its 50 cents more than premium gas per gallon. I think if you do the break down on costs diesel is not any better. You can also chip your car and get better gas mileage by remapping your ecu. Go to and check out the message boards there. Anything with a turbo will not be easy to make bio friendly.

Bio-diesel? How much money do you have? Hoe mechanically inclined are you? You need to find a donor engine and wiring harness. Next, you need an engine crane, and the Bentley factory manuals for each car. If I were you, I would unload the GTi, and get a Diesel. Hybrid is next to impossible- VW does not do a hybrid yet.
