[QUOTE="greggy, post: 1629066, member: 38479"] Why would you move to petrol engine again, diesels have more torque at low rpm..... in the 70's a 4, 5 or 5,8 was a large engine, now a 3 liter is a large engine in petrol, diesels are 2 and 3l in jap trucks mainly and some small sedans, 1 and 2l petrol turbo are popular. We have prob moved more toward Asia and EU thinking, but if they were going back to petrol, I sort of wonder why they have not made a 3 or maybe 4l v8 with turbo etc... My jap 3l diesel gets about 19mpg while carting around 3 metric tonne, I am wondering what a 7l gas engine carting 3t would return, what are the usage figures with no load ? [/QUOTE]
