Who cares if it's an imperial or plebeian gallon? We're quibbling about a
car that gets at least TRIPLE the fuel economy of most cars on the road here
in the USA. This includes my 1983 300TD turbodiesel wagon

how many fl. oz. in a US gallon? I already gave the answer for how

I don't know the number, but it was considerably quicker than any 4
cyl Mercedes Diesel up to 1984. I've never driven a 201 Diesel, but
I'd guess they are as quick or quicker than a Wabbit. I think my
wabbit was a 78

I actually think the rabbit was quite peppy, especially with a manual
transmission. People tended to think they were slow, because (being a
diesel) they thought it should stay at low rpm, but the powerband was

Yes, I was thinking of the 70hp fuel injected gas Rabbit when I said mid teens
0-60. Diesel had to be somewhere in the 20s.

Imperial gallon? My Wabbit would do 63-63 MPG on Imperial
gallons 85 does not seem outrageous after 30 years and all kinds of
electronics and blue juice. (as long as we are talking Imperial gallons!)

It won't unless:
1. you get one to the US
2. You add an extra quart to each gallon of fuel, to make it an
imperial gallon (160 FL Oz.)
