[quote Harry in MI]Is it my me or does 40mpg seem so-so for a 1.5-liter turbodiesel?
Depends on which gallon you are talking about. US gallon @ 3.6l vs UK gallon at 4.5l. For a UK gallon not good - for a US gallon ok.
[quote yeoman ]Definitely so-so. I got 57mpg (US) in a Ford Focus Maxi diesel driving for hours in spain with a/c and average 150mph. Kind of doubt this number... highest speed limit in Spain is 75 mph approx (120km/h)
