“The old VW Rabbit diesels from the 80’s regularily got 50+mpg.”
My uncle had an ‘83 or ‘84 diesel Rabbit that regularly got 45+ mpg. on the highway. And the mid ‘80’s carburated Caprice could get 30 on the highway if you stayed out of the secondaries.

The old VW Rabbit diesels from the 80’s regularily got 50+mpg. Definitely. They were light cars that wouldn't come close to meeting today's crash or emission standards.
The USEPA is on a mission to regulate diesels out of existence.
