I doubt this is true. My little car will go 81 miles on the electricity from a
diesel generator burning 1.6 gallons of diesel.? I doubt I could drive 81 miles
in a diesel version of this car on 1.6 gallons that would be 50mpg.
Our diesel Jetta gets 50 mpg.
Yes, that was common with early VW diesels. Early 1990s? Our Golf TDI
used to regularly do 50 mpg and up to 55 if driven carefully. It was
hard for me to believe that such little fuel consumption could have been
much of a pollution concern when compared to 10-15 mpg gasoline cars.
No matter how clean they were.
It is not clear what we are talking about though. Surely the bus would
not do miles on 1.6 gallons worth of diesel generator charge? No
matter, the diesel generator charging must have been an emergency.
