1. EU MPG testing is completely different than EPA MPG testing.
2. Golf 2.0 TDI gets same 57.6 MPG in the UK, while it gets 34 MPG in the USA.
3. Smart man would conclude E300 Bluetec will get 34 MPG as well in the USA.

As to the MB underrating their car in govt mandated lab testing... thats awesome!
But it doesn't get 34MPG!! it gets 41.

where did you get 41 MPG? It is estimate from Autoblog editor based on his not understanding how European figures translate to US.
