My car is down at the moment (and probably will be for another month), so I won't help the Diesel team much for this while.

American drivers, please note that % over EPA is not a very reliable data to compare cars worldwide. For my (French 1990's) car there is no such EPA data and it has to be estimated. I think, for example, that groar and I have the same engine [+similar car], yet we both came up with very different values. It doesn't take much math to figure out that a tiny difference in EPA estimation triggers huge differences in %EPA numbers.
