deeveus 81 Report post Posted March 6, 2010 My Peugeot Diesel: Around town: 6.7L per 100km (and i am heavy footed) Open road: 4.8 to 5.3 L per 100km My 740i Around town: 28.8L per 100km Open road : 11l per 100km Haha now do you see why the diesel is my daily driver? Thats a huge hit! Right over the stadium ROFL. The only thing that could compare to that was my P38 1996 4.6 Range Rover, I think I was getting very similar figures around town, that thing was a PIG of a thing on juice.

deeveus 81 Report post Posted March 7, 2010 Do you walk hard to the right normally? With a foot that heavy you'd surely limp! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DRTDVL 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2010 I was more referring to the stigma that diesels are big cast iron lumps that come from dump trucks and move as fast as a snail. Most are all alloy engines now days. WRC 2011 will be 1.6 turbos... it will be interesting to see if they run DI in those. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
