Ahead of its debut at the Qatar Motor Show, Volkswagen has unveiled a a new version of its 1L (1 Liter) car, bringing the company’s goal of delivering a production vehicle that can travel 100 km (62 miles) on a single liter of diesel fuel. The XL1 Prototype, achieves 0.9 l/100 km, or 261-mpg.
Does anyone else think this is a odd place to debut this fuel sipping wonder...?

Qatar is an oil- and gas-rich nation, with the third largest gas reserves, and the highest GDP per capita in the world.

One would think they wouldn't be very receptive at the prospect of selling less oil in the future.

Or it could be the Germans just like rubbing it their face...
