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. <br>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.<br><br>Dave<br>UK VW Type 3 and 4 Club.</div></div><div dir="ltr"><hr><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: bold;">From: </span><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><a href="mailto:Bobsnotch@aol.com">Bobsnotch@aol.com</a></span><br><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: bold;">Sent: </span><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">06/05/2017 22:56</span><br><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: bold;">To: </span><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><a href="mailto:type3@vwtype3.org">type3@vwtype3.org</a></span><br><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: bold;">Subject: </span><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Re: [T3] VW Passat with Blumotion engine</span><br><br></div>In a message dated 5/6/2017 2:33:31 P.M.

I do know that Top Gear tested it in a <br>fuel mileage test story, where none of the vehicles could "actually go the <br>distance", but 2 of them did (1 was the Blue Motion Polo, the other was a <br>turbo V6 Jag).
