Bob, I don't quite get all the color commentary.
They penalized the jetta for being diesel
the jetta is a box by comparison
the jetta is a much larger engine

and still it came out ahead after thousands of miles 41.4 MPG vs 40.96 MPG

I don't really see you doing a fair/impartial comparison here. I don't know why I expected one either

What do you mean the cold penalty was "engineered out"? They completely eliminated entropy? Thats awesome

Problem w/setting the stage for using only US statistics is that we don't have many diesel options here, and I think you know that.
