oh yea!
all we need is a CTN trans, and a 0.658 5th gear. or a custom taller 5th gear :twisted: mounted to either a PD engine or a regular TDI.

heck, I think it could be done with a IDI with a VNT
with some tactful engine mods and some weight loss, with the right transmission.
I was getting 60MPG with an old tired N/A hauling a bunch of tools around(at 65MPH)
