38 MPG in a minivan, factory VW minivan.

You know I love my volkswagens.  And I really do not like minivan.  But I may be convinced to get one of these seriously ugly vehicles.  The little grocery getter hauls 7 and gets upper 30’s for MPG.  Now I know it’s using a diesel, but seriously…can someone in Detroit at one of the major automakers take a peek at what is happening in Europe with cars?

Sure diesel is 12%-55% higher per gallon, but this van gets 30%-50% better mileage than compareable – still nets 5%-25% savings.
