If you think that's a great number, check out the Opel Eco Speedster:
113 mpg (yes, US Gallons) or 2.5l on 100 km.

It's a 4 cyl diesel as well. The Eco Speedster was presented already 2 years ago!
Unfortunately not avail for purchase.

Hmm... can the rotary be adapted to burn diesel? That would be an interesting project....

Wow... look at the numbers. Don't let the 1/4 mile speed fool you, that is the AVERAGE speed in the 1/4 mile from a standing start. With an average speed of 54.198 MPH, the Accord did the 1/4 mile in 16.61 seconds!
Not bad! And gets 70+ MPG in more sane driving conditions.

I've read of rotaries succesfully running on ultra low octane gas (<70 octane), diesel, airplane fuel, alcohol, hydrogen and who knows what else
