BTW, the Lupo 3L from Volkswagen was way outside my plot: the manufacturer figure of 3 liters per 100 km (78.4 MPG US) was easily achievable (quite an exception for manufacturer figures :-) :-) A heroic Japanese hypermiler (Shigeru Miyano) set a Guiness Book of Records record by driving this equally heroic little car around the UK, achieving 2.36 l/100 km, or around 100 MPG US. VW order books were overflowing, but the company shut down the production of this particular model of the Lupo within a year or so... I wonder why.... hmmmmm....
