There is something wrong if you're using nearly 29L every 100k's. :mellow:

i would tend to agree.You must spend a lot of time just stopped whilst idling

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.

Do you walk hard to the right normally?

With a foot that heavy you'd surely limp!

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.

How much of that is engine/gearbox tho?

I would be shocked if the engine was 300lbs or 136kg heavier than the petrol version!
