Hmm
25-32mpg automatic would IMO require using a 1970's - 1980's power train gear ratios.
I suspect the mpg is a low guess to cover later test data. 61.4mpg is what I was reading.

It is usually hinted or outrightly stated by the various japanese diesel producers that their cars will surface in the north american market. All of them it seems in recent years have for whatever reason always renaged. We as consumers are not even sure of why this game is played. Or at least I do not know why.

Mazda SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY Fuel Efficiency 26/35 mpg (Manual transmission, FWD)* 26/32 mpg (Automatic transmission, FWD)* 25/31 mpg (Automatic transmission, AWD)* Edit,... oh wait, that's the G version (gas) BUT, if you want a good one right now..... http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2012/05/84-mpg-couple-break-mileage-record-with-passat-tdi.html And I watch these being built everyday right here in Chattanooga  Quote:

From posts on forums, it appears that this engine has problems with adding diesel fuel to the engine oil. Wonder what's causing that?

That 61.4mpg is imperial gallons I think. Still great MPG but not quite 62.
