Re: Why did I buy a diesel ?

"44mpg for mixed use for a 1.6 engine would be impossible for a petrol"

Petrol engines have been capable of this for 5 years now. I have 2010 Alfa Giulietta 1.4TB Multiair, I get 48 mpg mixed, 170BHP, 0-6 around 7.5 seconds. I believe the new rev of this engine is now more efficient still.
