[T3] VW Passat with Blumotion engine

[Dave Hall]

The TSI gas engined VWs are getting around 45 mpgUS highway and that's in a Jetta sized car.  Our new 1.2 TSI Polo Bluemotion did that on its trip from dealership to home, so we're expecting even better as it loosens up.  
I'm sure the diesels do a lot more anyway.  I don't know what the current feeling over diesel cars is in the USA, but worries over particulates and nitric oxide pollution are threatening the market for diesels, certainly in Europe, and bans on diesel vehicles in some cities look likely within the next decade, unless the manufacturers can solve the problem.

I don't think it's available in the USA. I believe VW put it in a  Polo 
though, and got easily 75mpg with it. I do know that Top Gear tested it in  a 
fuel mileage test story, where none of the vehicles could "actually go the  
distance", but 2 of them did (1 was the Blue Motion Polo, the other was a 
turbo  V6 Jag). It was a few years ago that they did the test.
I hope this helps.
