awesome! I'm not surprised @ 80mpg out of a lupo whatsoever. I hate how it seems like we Americans "have" to use more gas as a result of the cars available to us. Just look at Canada! Their VWs are known for getting better gas mileage than their U.S. counterparts.

I know that this concept is intertwined with emissions standards, etc. But, that explanation is kind of lame to me. It doesn't make sense that we would make emissions standards that ultimately lower the efficiency of an automobile, which, (i would think) would then raise emissions to their original levels!!!

I mean c'mon!!!

Can anyone offer new and exciting insight here?
