My '79 Diesel Rabbit with the 1500cc gets close to 60MPG around
town, and a tad over on road trips. Suck it up, SUV owners. Had it
for 25 years now. The 1600 pickups get about 20% less. They go for
3-5K now on Ebay.

Thanks for that. My dad had a diesel Rabbit truck, 5-speed, and I was
sure I remembered 60mpg with it.

The mini truck with the best mileage was the VW rabbit diesel close to 45
MPG.
