New VW gets 236 miles/gallon

Holy cow! The car is just a prototype now. Top speed: 75 mph. Its gas tank isn't even 1 3/4 gallons, but considering that gives it a range of just over 400 miles, that's not so bad. It's skinny and funny-looking, like something out of Brazil, seats two, the passenger behind the driver.

And given how little fuel economy is valued over here, I wonder if it'll ever be sold here.
