The New York Times has a video report from the LA auto show that mentions one of the most "green" cars of the show is an A3 diesel that gets close to 50 MPG. Anyone have any details about this??

I was there and A3 was a sliver 2.0. Bob Lutz raved about 35 mpg Aveo. Wow can't wait....

you'd expect it to be. It would be lovely if we could get the modern diesel in the A3. I'm sure Audi needs something to offset the corporate mileage from selling all those Q7s;-)

Maybe AoA read my post stating I wouldn't buy another Audi unless it was a diesel

Fell in love with the car so I bought myself the A3 here in So Cal.

Though my gasoline A3 has a bigger ump from 0 the diesel was close behind. But, yes, the mileage is the difference. In Germany I was doing almost 650 miles to the 15 gal tank with the diesel while here my A3 (gasoline) does about 460 miles per 15 gal tank...
