Interesting note the milage numbers do not agree. The unit converter at TDI club gives a milage of 96MPG for 2.44L/100km.

That sounds more like it. I would suppose the L/100km is the more accurate of the two as that is the number they work with in Europe and somebody screwed up the conversion.

So that leaves a really good impression about the Germans math ability.
What to do now? After already spending the money for a splashy rollout do they admit an error in the engineering calculations?

Kind of funny and sad all at the same time. 100mpg almost is a way catchier number
