Uh... I owned a 78 rabbit diesel, own a 99.5 jetta tdi diesel and too many
to count in between and can tell you that all of them have averaged at least
45 mph while I owned them. The last was a 96 Passat wagon tdi and at 107k
miles it had averaged 45mpg per gallon every tankfull! When my current jetta
was driven mostly highway it always got over 50 mpg. Now with mostly in town
it's 45 mpg. I once tried to buy a Charokee with the turbo diesel
mitchabitchi (sp?) engine but the salesman at the local jeep dealer was too
dumb to know what I was talking about. Must be a jeep thing... But the
hybrids's rating are indeed totally unrealistic. But Honda and toyoto don't
come up with the numbers, the EPA does.
