I don't know anything about them, but I would have expected a little better from a light little diesel like this.
Are they capable of more?

the non turbo diesels are not as efficient as the later tdi engines. That said, the economy so far is on a par with thr mk3 golf td i had previously.
the run above was done at 70mph on tyres with 32psi in them, lights wipers and heater all on
At the end of the day, i went from 35mpg to 52mpg for sub $300, so £ call that a win.
reckon i may see 10% more without too many mods if I'm clever- i believe robchalmers from here ran one so i'll stsrt at his thread
