Nope, too much sulphur in our petrol.... need to get down to 10 parts per something of sulphur.... currently our best fuel is premium which has 50 parts per something. non-premium is at 150. needs a government decree to get the lazy fuel companies to change their ways.... would be relatively easy to just change premium to the low sulphur blend. Not sure who to vote for to get this done, though.

Well, I might have been wrong, wouldn't be the first time.[biggrin]
Looks like 2020 L405 will launch locally with mild hybrid according to Drive. So, maybe they have overcome the sulphur problem. If so, then I would imagine that L494 wont be far behind.

It's a petrol 6 cyl 'Ingenium' donk. I have not seen any 'Ingenium' diesel 6 cyl engines in anything yet... must be just too difficult for them, or maybe their ford/PSA engine contract hasn't run its course yet.
