Hey just thought I'd chuck this one up, never rely on the media for fact however I hope this is true, talk apparently of a twin charge Diesel (DSI) Apologies if this is already in discussion.
As expected, VW has lowered fuel consumption (by up to 28 percent) using a lineup of new turbocharged and/or supercharged diesel (DSI) and gasoline (TSI) engines. According to VW, in its thriftiest DSI/DSG trim, the new Golf will get up to 52 mpg. That puts the 2009 Golf into hybrid territory, but isn't surprising based on what we've seen in the Jetta TDI.
