How much better? Well, I have a good bit of seat time in a BMW 520D in Europe - very comparable performance to a 9-5, and an EASY 40mpg US at 100+ mph. I'd buy a diesel 9-3 in a split second, the 9-5 is larger and more elaborate than I have need of.
I used to have a Golf TDI, I'd get 48mpg in the same driving conditions that get me 30mpg in my 9-3.
