Someone earlier was asking if the fuel efficiency savings of the 3.0l Diesel translated into money savings.

Natural Resources Canada says yes!

note that their testing cycle is changing this year so there is a second rating if you click on the car itself...
http://oee.nrcan.gc.ca/fcr-rcf/public/index-e.cfm

Their new ratings are pretty close to what we are actually getting on our Mazdas - we are getting between the city and highway ratings. This makes sense as we don't do a lot of true stop/go nor a lot of true highway cruising.

I have heard of people getting surprising mileage on the highway with the new diesel, but I would guess that with the price difference (right now a least) you would need to be doing a lot of km's to make it pay off.
