AaronRe: Why don't we want the diesel? I am English. It is true, in the last 10 years ive noticed and huuge increase in diesel cars on the road. I recently investigated the brand new "Ford Mondeo" ranges in the UK. I found that a 2.0 litre TDCi Duratorq engine has a combined MPG of 54.3... Compared to 35.8 from the 2.0 litre Petrol Version. Now you may say that the petrol is more powerfull and diesels are sluggish. But not the new generation of turbo diesel. The 2.0 litre diesel puts out 138 BHP vs the 2.0 petrols 142BHP.. The difference is tiny. Performance wise, the Diesel does 0-60 in 9.3 seconds. The Pertrol does 0-60 in 9.7 seconds. Thats because of the diesel has alot more tourque and in my opinion it makes it feel alot more powerful than the petrol. Both cars have a top speed of 130MPH. I would like to compare this to the american Ford Fusion with a 2.3 Litre engine. It does have 160BHP but it only gives a miserable 23MPG. As americans i think that you should seriously consider changing your ways to improve our inviroment by changing to diesel. Thanks for reading
