Quattro...worth it?

It will be a private car, and not one of the "new" models either as i'm not that rich.
I'll be looking at a TDI 130 diesel engine and know from experience getting the power down when you need it can be tricky with FWD so throught that quattro would be a good way to go.
I'm undecided as to if itll be an A3/A4 or even A4 Avant...depends what i find at what price and how my mood takes me on the day!!!

How much of a hit does the quattro make on the old fuel consumption then? I tent to do quite a few miles which i pay for myself, and potentially could be doing a 100mile round trip commute to work every day as well.
As long as it still returns in the 40-45mpg rather than the 50ish a non quattro should return i'd be happy.
I was reading last night that the quoted figure for both quattro/non quattro is 52mpg with the 130bhp diesel engine, but i dont see how they can be the same.
