[QUOTE="Johnnyboxer, post: 6083176, member: 5732"] Well, I got the Petrol car home today and after driving down the A1 after a bit around the hills of Northumberland, I miss the torque of a diesel for sure Same engine bhp as the diesel variant of same car, but half the torque:scratchhead: So I will have to adapt the driving style, a bit and rev it more................as I have forgotten how to drive a petrol car, as it's been over 20 years, since last driving and owning one:ROFLMAO: Pleased with overall mpg at 33.5mpg (not bad for a SUV and 10 mpg down on the exact same diesel variant, I traded in this morning) on a very mixed 100 miles home. One thing that struck is how sweet/smooth and quiet the car is to drive, the controls are so light with a lighter engine and the clutch/gearbox is a joy to behold - compared to the diesel variant of same SUV I think I will like it, for a car......................still got the Hilux 3litre for my diesel fix [/QUOTE]
