^^yup, I think we're saying the same thing but just in different words.
I was simply saying that diesel was chosen for the same reason (they could run further without fueling), not because it was the best performance platform, though Audi/VW have done some pretty awesome things with their diesel tech. Running a race engine with two pre, one main and two post injections and using various strategies of fueling to help broaden the diesel's powerband.
Now that rules have started cracking down on their tank size and they had to go back and rework things in the engine (several times). But VW is hanging onto the marketing of their clean diesels with the cars.
