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

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.
