The Focus that I drove last year in Europe , the 1.6 CDTI got me almost 700 km of city driving . It's true , its got no "go"off the line but hey ,couldn't complain at 1.35 Euro/litre.

Thats the thing! I guess North America always cares about the HP numbers and not the fuel cost! I think this is BS! That could have been true for the 90's and maybe early 2000's, but now days i think Canadians do care about how much money they spend on fuel and they do want better fuel mileage. I really dont care how much HP my car has, i get on the 401 and drive for 400kms at a time. All i want is to drive at 119kms and have the ability to pass once in a while. So the 1.6 would be great for me.

Yeah i did similar i guess. Toronto-Timmins-North Bay was where i had to stop for fuel and i didnt even have my gas light on yet i think that was 1100kms and only put in 50litlers so it meant i had an extra 12Liters in the tank which it could have got another 250kms. Average speed was 90kms, i was driving the 02 Jetta TDI w 5 speed.

I think someone in TDi club did 1650kms before running out of fuel, but that was with the 03 Tdi wagon, chip, nozzles and 6th speed mod. They actually did run out of fuel so they had to prime the line.
