Its a promotional tie-in. VW commercials thru the show-then at the end, a 30 second spot with the crew from Mythbusters looking like they are doing a test-but its just " oh wow! Im still going after 700 miles!"

40 mpg doesnt seem like much to brag about in a new TDI. Im getting 39-42 in my 18yr old NA coupe. Hey wait a min my car is as old as my gf
, guess which one is more fun to drive
