I am not really surprised. There are big differences based on tuning, and how much emissions reduction equipment the manufacturer builds on. I...
Well, I hope so but the jury is still out on that one. VW (or at least the VW faithful) has been claiming that the new CRDs will reduce...
All the data is from the US EPA emissions tests. On the EPAs mileage website: Fuel Economy you can find the Underhood ID (under "show emissions...
