US website "borrows" report from UK website on how green the Ford Fiesta 
(diesel) is:

"According to official (metric system) figures, the 2013 Ford Fiesta’s 
emissions 
are now at only 87 g/km carbon dioxide. This would be for the 1.6-liter diesel 
variant, which is also capable of 85.6 miles per gallon in the combined cycle,"

The CO2 figures make it look like the mpg is proabaly Imperial, and Googling 
for 
the original UK source, they use the same figures which are unlikely to be 
based 
on the US gallon:

So he manages to change British "litre" to American "liter" but not to fix the 
gallons.  He should have gone with L/100 km.
