Passat TDI wins “40 MPG challenge” Going up against nothing but compact cars or smaller, the Passat TDI still managed to get the most by using the least.
Passat TDI wins “40 MPG Challenge” by Edmunds TDI – Turbocharged Direct Injection Diesel
Audi recently quantified savings for Audi Q7 and A3 TDI owners: • Saved owners more than $26 million at the pump • Saved over 4.5 million gallons of gasoline++ • Prevented more than 22,000 tons of C02 from • Saved more than 240,000 barrels of foreign crude oil
Economic benefits of diesel
If every 3rd US car were diesel, the US could cancel its
entire shipment of crude-oil imports from Saudi Arabia –
1.4 million barrels/day or $41 billion! (Bosch statistic)
What is this Guinness World Record thing all about? We will be attempting to beat the current Guinness World Record of 67.9 mpg on a drive that visits all 48 continental U.S. states over a planned distance of 8,000 miles.
