70mpg is easily attainable in a deisel golf, our old 2002 1.9tdi would regularly do that on a long run at 65

these guys take it a lot further and get some crazy mpg figures out of quite normal cars

We need to do this in the UK as Gas cost £1.40 per litre

Very cool.... too bad that IF or when it makes it to the US, mileage will probably drop from 70 to 45 due to 'regulations'. Ugh.

The 70.5 mpg rating the car received in Japan isn't a clear indication of what Mazda 2's rating will be in the United States, which has different test procedures, safety requirements, and emissions requirements. The current version of the Mazda 2 was rated at 54 mpg in Japan, but only 35 mpg (for the manual transmission version) in the United States.
