To address these disadvantages, VW 
introduced the lightest 4-cylinder Diesel 
ever produced. A wider power band 
and substantially improved performance 
were provided by a new swirl-chamber, 
aluminum cylinder head. Fuel economy 
remained phenomenal. 
There are several Diesels on the market, 
and if all you want is to be prudent, 
they all should be of passing interest. 
If you’re interested in passing too, there 
is only one choice. 
The Rabbit Diesel. Also known as the 
best mileage car in America’ 
*EPA estimated [ 45 ] mpg 58 highway 
estimate. (Use Estimated mpg for 
comparisons. Your mileage may vary 
with weather, speed, and trip length. 
Actual highway mileage will probably 
be less.)
