Thanks to my local dealer I'm running about in a 55 reg Octy TDI Elegance courtesy car. Not sure what power, but on a reasonably fast return trip to Edinburgh it returned 49 mpg :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Bloody hell! This could convert me to diesel motoring :O

There are benefits to diesel (& to petrol too) - motorway cruising at a decent pace is definitely a benefit. Petrols are still more refined & less noisy when cold though

petrols don't do this either (unless they've just dropped a piston through the sump )
