<VV> re:48 mpg VW diesel... HUMOR

[D. Barry Ellison]

I was the event master for the Corsa SC 2006 economy run... he won with 49.x 
mpg.  I filled that fume sniffing gas tank myself.  One prior year he indeed 
broke 50mpg.

No kidding.  But then he takes it pretty serious, too.

But I think he's misleading you about the smaller diameter tires, maybe on 
the front?  They're 16" rims all around and the rear end fills up that wheel 
well.

Barry, also in SC
If you want better mileage in your diesel, look up "Drew's Brew", PSD + MMO
