There are many people putting in Cummins 4BTA engines (3.9 liter turbo) into full-size trucks and getting 25-30 MPG with them. Price keeps going up on good used engines since there are so many people lookking to swap into their big trucks.

In regard to fuel mileage not being as good in newer cars - much is do to with performance packages. Cars that don't go fast don't sell. So, automakers up the power and mileage drops.

Parts are cheap, easy to work on, etc. We have two 91 Volkswagen diesels that get 45-50 MPG, two 81 diesel Chevy Chevettes that get 42-46 MPG. My 91 Subaru 4WD wagon with a gas 1.8 gets 29 MPG on the highway.
