Yeah, but they're not selling the diesel Fiesta in the US. Those numbers (29/40) are for the normal gasoline version.

so 40 MPG is 5.9l/100km... thats not that brilliant fuel economy really...

the 06-08 yaris is rated at 6.0 (1.3)/ 6.1 (1.5) litres per 100km,
and the 09-10 yaris is rated at 6.5 (1.3)/ 6.7 (1.5) itres per 100km in Australia... why the hell aren't ford importing the diesel?

Actually not the normal version...the super fuel efficient version!

Isn't it just the standard automatic transmission version? The engine isn't any different, right? What's different about the "super fuel efficient" version? It's my understanding that the manual has 5-speeds, but the auto has 6-speeds and is uses "dual-clutch", so it's more efficient.
