In the world....

They had to go and ruin a good thing there...Me and my dad have one of these (an 81 diesil...sharing it for the time being), and it gets awesome fuel mileage on its original engine in its unmodified state, hovering around 80 mpg (US), although I can't claim 0-60 in 7 seconds...However, we do have new suspension and a racing clutch installed (dad's bad knee is hard on clutches), which makes for fast gear changes.

I think a few peeps in the comments are confused between UK and US MPG, US gallon is smaller, so 84MPG US = 100MPG UK

just more proof of the diesel miracle of performance and mileage

The reason cars these days, even TDIs don't get this kind of gas mileage is because of the EPA. In 1996, Volkswagen released a TDI Passat that averaged around 50mpg. However, shortly there after, the EPA issued requirements for car manufacturers to install smog control crap all over the engine. Regulators, and advanced computers that limited the amount of diesel that could be injected into the engine. So, in complete irony, it's the governments fault, not car manufacturers.
