If it is an imperial gallon, then the mileage would be lower - right on par with a VW tdi in a jetta or golf.

The problem with diesels is the emissions. I'm not being over eco-friendly here, just go visit a major urban center in Europe. Paris, Vienna, London - the smog is so thick you can cut it and serve it on a plate.

In metric, it's liters per 100km.

Yes, this is true, also in Canada we SELL gas in litres but we often rate the cars in MPG because none of us can understand L/100km. So if you see a UK or Canadian car rated at 58 MPG combined that's 48 MPG for you guys.
