Yes nice trolling. Low HP diesels in light cars DO get good MPG. But so do high-hp diesels, and that's what Americans care about, Hp and the enviroment. Mike Woods got 45 mpg in his Duramax-powered Mustang and could run mid 9s at 150mph in the quarter mile with nitrous and a different tune. Now that's progress. A riding lawnmower will get good mpg, but who wants to drive it on the freeway?
