    Kind of reminds me of when VW claimed the Jetta TDi would get somewhere in the high 60's.....then actually got more like the low 40's when it was released.
    If those numbers pan out then good for Ford!

    Diesel is $1.00 more a gallon. Not sure about the difference, but I think I am sticking with regular gasoline for now. I wish Ford makes it available here in the US in the near future. Americans just have to start to use less fuel for more mpg.

    This again?

    Diesel is dirty.

    I don't think this car can be legally sold in California.

    It's also...tiny.

    So you're comparing the calories of a strawberry to a watermelon?

    This is also a duplicate post that has already been removed once for trolling.

    Want to make it two?
