Diesel cars
Arbalist:
Nice one John! :clap:
DavidA:
..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.

Our Diesel works out at $5.82 per US Gallon.

On par then with British Rails coffee at £3.84 a slice. :palm:
DavidA:
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.
