What the heck are you talking about? The TDI is powered strictly by a diesel engine. This is not an EV with a small diesel motor for backup.

Editor's note: The information about the injection of urea has been removed and replaced with the correct engine technology. VW TDI engines use a NOx storage catalyst, which captures the noxious emissions, like a particulate filter, until they can be burned off during one of the engine cycles.

Steve, you are absolutely correct that the TDI does not require urea. I stand corrected!

The 2009 TDI does not require urea. The engine periodically burns off pollutants that have been stored. Because of its great performance, it’s easy to drive the TDI hard (it likes it) and so not benefit from the fuel economy it’s capable of. I have 10K on my 2009, mostly highway, and I regularly get over 50 mpg. The trick is to slow down. But even at 70+ on the interstate I get over 40. The other day I turned on to a 10 mile stretch of back road that has no stop signs and a speed limit of 45. I set the cruise to 45 and at the end of 10 miles I had averaged 65 mpg. The TDI is not so good in stop and go traffic, however, or idling in traffic jams.
