Das ist richtig, VW Golf GLS TDI. It'll run a buck and a quarter (3.8k rpm)without breaking a sweat too.... too bad it's an auto, with a manual I could probably (if I drove the speed limit) get 55+ mpg out of it. 90 hp, 165 ftlb low end torque (powerband 1.8k-3.6k rpm, 17 lb turbo kick at 1.93k rpm). 
Gotta love German engineering in an escape pod - speed, efficiency, and carry space. Doesn't hurt that I had to take more driving instruction while in the military than is good for any one person either.....
