I was reading the thread on replacing a VX with a G1 Insight and it got me thinking. What is the best car ever MPG wise at a steady 65 mph? One of the old TDI's or a newer Cruise diesel maybe? I'm talking a readily available production car in it's basic form, LRR tires aired up, a grill block and wheel covers, a custom tune, maybe an air dam, but not a total redesign, home build, or powertrain swap.
