My 1986 gas Jetta got 40mpg, and gas is cheaper than diesel. How is this revolutionary?

I owned a 1998 TDI that regularly got 50 MPG. Only problem with VW is that the car falls apart around the engine.
Must be the anti-pollution gear that drives the MPG down.

My 91 fox GL also got 40+ highway with regular gas.. but apparently changes to build safety requirements would make such a car illegal to sell today and the added weight cuts down on mileage.

I had a few diesel Rabbits & Jettas years ago and they got pretty good mileage too. I thought I heard something about VW bringing out a 70 MPG diesel?
