But why do you need a big 6.2 V8 petrol truck, it must be the most uneconomical thing on the road.

I have a Land Rover Discovery with a 3.0L V6 Turbo Diesel engine auto, much faster than my old Range Rover that was a 4.6L V8 and delivers nearlly 40mpg on the motorway here in the UK, plus we use it for towing and actually take it off road.

I think any vehicle that does less than 25mpg (except commercials) should be banned so we don't run out of oil so fast.

I work in the oil industry and it has dropped in price but know that you guys in the States will be back at $5-6 a gallon soon. It will be back at $1.60 a barrel soon. I would rather have upto 40mpg than 19mpg.
