How again are you saying US ratings are unrealistically high compared to European ones?

nagmashot, I think you are incorrect in your assertions.]]>Feb 27th 2008 1:28AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/audi-announces-the-44mpg-tt-2-0-tdi-quattro/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/audi-announces-the-44mpg-tt-2-0-tdi-quattro/
There was a report about it here at autoblog..

The Prius is rated in Germany at 47mpg or 5.0l/100km and notriously fail to reach that claims... like the Honda Civic Hybrid, both cars are voted as the most unrealistic consuption claims of all cars sold in Germany.
In a 1000km drive across Germany the tester reached disapointing 7.9l/100km = 29.7mpg ..
For example the Golf GT with the same 2.0l TDI engine as this Audi TT TDI quttro the same weight but worse aeordynamic is rated with 5.9l/100km = 40mpg.. it reached in German car magazine fuel tests, including 20% full throttle maximum speed (138mph for the Golf GT TDI) Autobahn drive, a average of 6.8l/100km = 35mpg. Rolling at 55 to 70mph on highway the Golf GT easy reach the claimed 40mpg.
Without the full throttle runs the consuption would be pretty close to EU Norm.. ]]>Feb 27th 2008 1:57AM
