OK, so that 52.3 MPG rating UK converts to 43.5 US MPG. So they got 76.6 out of a car rated at 43.3 mpg. That's over 419 miles, so they had to be using some sort of special driving technique, no?

Not bad, but still not world shattering. And who wants to breathe those diesel fumes? They make me nauseous.
A TDI is able to do north of 90 mpg (US) on a closed course too, it's not earth shattering.

Diesel fumes?

New diesels don't smoke nor they smell.

They have become as quite (if not more) than gasoline engines.

The low cr will allow more boost, thus more torque xcel.

Are you selling your insight in order to buy a diesel? Never know....
