I’ve been spending more time than I probably should be on VWvortex recently. And, while the forums are active and sometimes even useful, the articles are great too, like this article on The Clean Future of the Diesel Engine. Volkswagen’s Lupo 3L TDI is pretty crazy, averaging 2.38l/100km at an average speed of 85km/h on a 33,333km trip. Running that through the ol’ converter, that’s 98.8mi/gal averaging a speed of 52.8mi/hr on a 20,700mi trip.
Also, some great eye candy: Silver 16v, Hooligan Hybrid, and RS-4Door among them.
