    I must have a warped sense of fuel economy.

    Example, IMHO a 1HD-FT is far more economical than a 300Tdi.

    The saving in fuel of 3-4L/100km from the 300Tdi is merely compensation for it's inability to perform the degree of work a 1HD-FT will. In other words, I'd rather use 14l/100km knowing that every hill will be flattened in 5th gear instead of a slow, irritating trip.

    Similar sort of comparison re 3.5 V8 and Isuzu

    "...And after hill Number 355 the trip WAS a lot slower as I had broken 5th gear..., whereupon the tortoise like 300tdi caught up and CONTINUED to use less diesel...."

    I've heard about the 5th gear weakness and the front diffs exploding in reverse but I can't say that ever happened, must be a LR apologists line.

    But you're agreeing, yeah?
