40. My TDI Jetta routinely gets 40+

Edited on Sat Dec-13-08 05:05 PM by JBear

and it is still a kick to drive! Yes, I am driving a car with less than 100 hp, but who needs more than that? We towed a small sailboat down to Florida behind it and still got about 33 mpg averaging between 65-70 mph!

Add to that, my old 2001 TDI Bug was seen towing a trailer with 110 gallons of BioDiesel up the mountain between Greenville and Asheville - maintaining 55 mph the whole time! It isn't HP, it is torque you need for drivability and diesels have torque.

These cars already exist!!!
