Real world numbers I suspect will be much less especially if people use these as grocery getters for short around town trips. Modern diesel DPF systems don't work well under these conditions and will only lead to more frequent and longer regen cycles hurting mileage.

Just wait til they get released and all the people calling foul when they find their mileage numbers are no where near EPA figures.

Actually the very newest diesels don't have problems with short trips as much as those just a couple of years ago. The use of Urea drastically cut the need for regens.
