MPG!

No. Go back and clear up the rods off the road....


As I've found out, not all diesels are economical anyway. So my Mum can still gloat about her 56mpg petrol with a better 0-60 than a HDi! Plus she's just got the tax reminder through.......£30 for the year! What is it for an XUD now, about £200odd?

Thats called 12 years of R&D tom! But yeah DTs are over £200 a year iirc

Very true....and even if I could afford to, I certainly wouldn't pay £12k for a brand new car with only 90bhp and hard cloth seats lol, despite the tax and MPGz. But diesels are going to start dying out again soon (imo) now they can make petrols much more efficient. Especially with things like the TFSi's, soon as they come down in price a bit they'll easily beat the DERVs I reckon. Especially without having to have DPFs and all the other emmisions crap that diesels are filled with nowadays. Power, economy and noise ftw...

Nah i reckon Petrols will stay about in the form of small, pokey engines. No bigger than 2.0L but i reckon bigger engines will be going diesel. Look at all the premium manufacturers. BMW, Audi, Jag etc all offer a derv alternative to their bigger petrols which are almost as quick but will still do 40mpg with ease.
