Another hybrid gets its butt kicked

This time VW is doing the kicking. Although this isn’t in America it’s still good news for diesel proponents. VW has a 80hp 1.4L 3 Cylinder Turbo Diesel Polo that is getting 72 mpg. VW had to modify it to get better aerodynamics and equip it with low rolling resistance tires, but since they are actually going to start selling some that way it’s not cheating. Way to go VW!
