[Jamo]

Euro-diesels are way beyond our diesel-think. A couple of years ago, we rented a turbo-diesel Land Rover Discovery and drove all over Wales and mid-England for a week. Absolutely perfectly mated to the task at hand...high speeds on the main highways, and great handling/torque in the Welsh mountains. As best as we could figure, and despite being fully loaded (four people and suitcases) with a heavy right foot, it was returning mid-20s day in and day out. No black smoke and no smell. We have nothing like that in our small to mid-sized SUVs or crossovers.
