I do have minor quibble with their arithmatic, both get less than 54 mpg on a US gallon, not the 55 or 56 they say . One reportedly got 66.76 to the Imperial gallon, or 53.41/US gallon. The other got 67.46 or 53.97/US gallon. I didn't check their conversion from kilometers/liter to Imperial gallons, maybe their math error is in that part.
Now I agree, that is very good. I do recall that diesel VWs from the 70s could do that also. I am also looking forward to more diesels however.
