We have a second car with an engine that literally blows my mind.
In every sense it's a diesel that burns petrol.
Its a mere 1.2 turbo triple siamised wet sleeve all aluminium 96kw 230nm Peugeot 308 with an Aisin 6 speed with automated clutch which give 20km/L (5L/100km) over its 11,500km so far.
I'm staggered with max torque at 1750 (95% fm 1500)......it never drops out of 6th on motorway hills, just like a diesel and journos don't have a clue.
No wonder Peugeot are reported to be withdrawing diesels from Australia.
For me, a diesel is now for towing only.
