Diesel rocks!
We just tanked up the Corsa ("Chugging Thunder") for the first time and used a tad over 4.7 liters/100 km, which is how we Europeans measure fuel consumption. That works out to right at 50 mpg driving mostly highways and secondary roads. This is why the Man is keeping diesel down in the US.

I love the nickname for your car! Chugging thunder! Wish we had more cars like yours here (and fewer monster SUVs). Kerry
Only problem is there are no chugging thunder diesel models available in the states. You may have to settle for less than 50 mpg -- or as you Europeans would say kpl or mpl.(You can do the math based on 50 mpg.)
