I have a friend in South Africa with a Ford Fiesta Turbo Diesel, and he drives in the city commuting daily. In 2 years, he has averaged 62 MPG. (3.75 L/100km)
He keeps good records, but doesn't use any ecomodding techniques. I would love to get my hands on that car for a few months to see what I could get out of it.
Why can't we buy a car like that in the USA?
