This is eactly what I did, except I bought a case (12) of R134a. I sold a few to help out some friends.

Not a bad mileage for a V6 (7.7L/100km). In comparison, I get regularly 1150km on my 2000 Jetta TDI with 61L of Diesel (5.3Ll/100km). I drive 80% highway at around 130km/h. If I ever had a chance to cruise below 120km/h for a long trip it would be around 1250 to 1300km for a tank (that's under 5L/100km).

Performace wise the 1.9L, 90hp TDI engine feels the same as a Ztec or any other gasoline equvalent. Except they have huge amount of low end torque (bellow 2000rpms).
