i've just been on a 100 mile round trip and my 7 year old 1.9 grand scenic averaged 56mpg -

But its a Renault Scenic so [STRIKE]if[/STRIKE] when it goes wrong the cost will outstrip anything you have saved.

Speaking of diesel, last week our Great Leaders / Eternal Presidents at the EU parliament came up with this great idea of increasing diesel taxes across the EU by an average of €0.22 (£0.19) per litre from 2013. Apparently it is to reduce the environmental impact and help EU combat global warming. :mad:

So far only Germany, Belgium and Austria are opposing it.

As Germany oppose it, it's unlikely to happen ... :cool:
