The D sounds like it gets wonderful mpg -- dah
I think the article is Imperial Gallons but even so.

Ooooo me too. I calculate 64.2 *. 833 = 53.47 mpg US, at least in the same class as the TDI bug my wife and I considered before we got our 04 MC.

If that turbodiesel engine can perform on biodiesel mixes... ah that would be delightful!

Wonder what the chances of a US release are though :/. I imagine quite low... esp. in California where you currently can't buy a TDI VW.

But then they are finally rolling out cleaner diesel... hmmmm.
