..Aren't US gallons, smaller than ours?.. Yes, about 20%. That makes a 50 mpg car in the USA do 60 mpg in the UK. That's still pretty good. The terrain and traffic have a tremendous effect on mpg. You need to do side by side tests with both petrol and Diesel engined vehicles to get a true comparison. Dave |

Our Diesel works out at $5.82 per US Gallon. Dave. |

Anthony, I think the key to this is in your long commutes. Out of interest, what rpm are you getting at 75 mpg ? A small Diesel is most economic at 1800 -2000 rpm. Mind you, the power isn't so high at that point on the curve. Dave. |
