Not Diesel
But I know when tested and the engine passes the test my 24-year-old TOAD will maintain it's economy.
Test centers in Kaliforniastan offer free tests.
The complete diagnostics end up way way down the permitted limits for each pollutant.
And under ideal driving conditions, flat, no wind, and 65 mph the unloaded car continues to deliver 24 mpg. This model has self-diagnostics and no codes are in storage.
Through hard-earned experiences, I have learned an amazingly high percentage of gas mileage gossip is utter BS.
For example one day the muffler fell off. Precise monitoring of gas mileage revealed absolutely no gain in the economy over a month's time. ZIP. A tig welder and new hangers fixed the issue.
What if you spend all that money, and the computer goes into open loop limp home mode? Loss of 20% economy. Could you face yourself in the mirror
