And 78 mpg isn't true also, ok behind a truck maybe with a little luck you get that mpg.
But in the other hand petrol in the States is getting more expensive i realize that but it is nothing if you compare it with Western Europe!
Petrol here costs 1,50€/ L,
that's 5,67 €/ Gallon,
that is 7,80 USD/ Gallon
I don't know what you guys pay for petrol but i think it's 2 times cheaper?!

As a matter of fact I once drove a VW Lupo as a company car when I was working in Germany. It was easily getting 75 MPG (3.2 Liter/100 km) Diesel without any tricks. I can't speak about the quality, but it seemed to be okay to me. They used titanium to lower the weight of the car. That's why the price was too high at about $23,000.
And then again the Lupo is completely overpowered with a top speed of 105 Miles. I wonder what the mileage would have be with a sensitive engine.
