I don't care if you don't like diesels, but let's look at the reality of it.

I don't own one but it seems odd to suggest that a Patrol or Crusier uses
less fuel than a Falcon or Commodore. I found this quote from NRMA:
"Fuel consumption - usually the bane of four-wheel drives - is relatively modest. You can get down into the 11 litres/100 km region on the highway, while in town you'll do 15-17 litres/100 km. These figures are comparable with a Falcon (
well a GT anyway).
Still, when you see $200 click over on the pump (three hours after you started filling the tank) it does focus your thoughts on the possibility of next time choosing a smaller car."
Just food for thought!
