The Passat actually does a little better than the Jetta at highway speeds since it's running more efficiently by using urea for NOx control. [IMG]
That'll get him a thanks from me. Gassers blocking diesel pumps is the worst. Sometimes if I'm lined up behind gassers and there are other...
The 1.6 TDI isn't sold here. We get the 2.0, which was what MT tested. According to your linked site, its 0-60 is faster than the CR-Z.
Seriously, beats the Golf TDI by 2 seconds? 2011 Honda CR-Z vs. 2010 Volkswagen Golf TDI - Comparison - Motor Trend MT seems to think the...
Probably the large proportion who don't buy Prii? Maybe I should have been more specific. People want to lower fuel costs, but most aren't going...
Not everyone wants the lowest possible fuel cost. I simply wanted *low* fuel cost (even though the costs are on par with a Prius for me) and found...
It's more than very slightly ahead. Compare a 40mpg Passat to a 26mpg Passat (fuel economy obtained from Fuelly). Even with gasoline at 3.354...
Does it truly need more barrels of oil to make diesel, or is it like that simply because that is what we decide to make?
Looks like an Acura MDX to me. http://media.caranddriver.com/images/13q3/529426/2014-acura-mdx-photo-531812-s-1280x782.jpg I don't think the...
How big were those engines? Big engines generally have lower rpm limits.
Our models don't have any of the aero tweaks or other stuff from the Bluemotion models.
I am simply providing data that I know, I don't have all the answers and can't tell you what conclusions to draw. Use fuelly, use the EPA, take...
I didn't see anybody asking for them, and even if they did ask for them, I don't have any numbers to give them.
Jimbo was asking at what point the diesel becomes more frugal, I am providing data to answer his questions. Also, I figured even fewer people...
They aren't my charts. They are made by Wayne Gerdes at CleanMPG. I was hoping it would be clear enough for people without me needing to re-plot...
Don't get trapped by thinking 1 mpg has a fixed value. In terms of consumption (L/100km), the difference between the Passat and Prius is greater...
I don't know of a chart for the Passat's direct competition (Camry, Fusion) but I would expect they are less efficient than the Prius or C-Max....
Take a look at the press release. Nowhere does it mention hybrids, Prius, or anything like that....
Yes, I get great fun out of contributing to cancer o_Oo_Oo_O o_O Funny that you say diesels don't cut it as race cars, there are a few that have...
The current TDI already uses both high and low pressure EGR systems. I think that may be a feature only in North America though, perhaps VW is...
