Try 60 mpg with a manual tranny. That's what i used to get consistantly
with my old VW rabbit diesel 4 door on a regular 40 mile commute on a 2
lane road in the country with no traffic ( that was running a steady 55
mph, any faster...and it wouldn't go much faster, and the mileage would
drop)
Loved that car.

Yes indeed. That is why I specified "rust free."
I almost bought one back in (I think) the late 70s, when they first came
out. I test drove one all over for quite a while and the needle on the fuel
indicator didn't budge -- and no, it was not on "full", it was on half tank.
What were those, about 45 mpg on diesel?

I lust after an old (but rust free) diesel Rabbit -- as a work car, of

Wonderful choice. I had one for 15 years. GREAT economy car. Rusted away.
