V8 Ford Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Emission testing in the UK -v- USA are totally different, one of the reasons you don't see the Duratorque here in the USA....probably a better comparison would be to use a US spec VW four cylinder diesel. somehow I get the feeling mlhm5 will be making an appearance ...... The testing probably isn't different enough to cause a 500% difference in results Under Euro testing the GTI makes 0.024 g/km, 1/10th that of the duratorque Fiesta under Euro testing and half of the Super Duty US numbers. It's not like the fiesta is a clean car and its emissions were exaggerated by the Euro testing cycle http://www.vcacarfueldata.org.uk/search/ve...ls.asp?id=18868 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
