New vw gets 313 mpg

vw gets 313 mpg and a good looking car to boot.

that is really serious fuel economy
I suppose a v8 version would only get 160 mpg.

Problem solved.

Strictly humor, echnidna. Oh, and toss that VW in there, too.

I wonder, can you get that with twin turbos? lol

 

[Neverdone]

diesel ehh???

lets throw on a Banks exhaust, edge Juice tuner, bully dog propane injection and get er up to 0-60 in 3 seconds and 150 mpg. Sounds more my style. And if SneakySnake can figure out that twin turbo setup we will throw that on too!!! LOL [cl

"it uses a plug-in diesel-electric hybrid powertrain." "Plus, a pure electric mode enables the XL1 to travel 22 miles with zero emissions."

So to get that 313mpg of diesel you all so have to charge from a few pounds of coal from the electric grid before you go. Of course we don't count that or the CO2 it puts out. Gotta love the logic.
