Rolede, I think that you really pushed the right button here. As I pointed out in my failed bid for the US presidency (do not accept non resident, non American and not born in US candidates, -:)). The Lupo and compatible cars, with biodiesel, is the only way to make a dent in the US oil dependency at 2010. I have also mentioned this in my free 2,000 gallon biodiesel initiative. I have given the American people the key to oil independence, now it is only to make the right choice. I suppose that all news agencies will publish and everybody will read it with interest. -:) For diesel alternative in general see, Diesel engine, as a "ready for use" energy saving technology. by Hakan Falk at Energy Saving Now. <http://energy.saving.nu/biofuels/dieseltech.shtml>http://energy.saving.nu/b iofuels/dieseltech.shtml Hakan At 12:47 AM 9/27/2003, you wrote: >While the Prius has much to offer, it is not the most fuel efficient car >ouit there. > >It is easily beaten by the VW Lupo 3L TDI, which has a three cylinder >Diesel engine with direct fuel injection and a displacement of 1.2 >litres, which produces 45 kW of power. > >It is called the '3L' because it's official fuel consumption is below >three litres per 100 km-94.1 miles per gallon.
