Just did the Imperial MPG conversions for the US MPG's using the following data on the D4D installed in UK Toyota Landcruiser weighing 4806 pounds.
 
Urban (City) 24.6 Imperial MPG or 20.5 US MPG
Extra Urban (Highway) 37.7 Imperial MPG or 31.4 US MPG
Combined (Combined) 41.4 Imperial MPG or 26.1 US MPG ( or 9 MPG better than the US FJ using Super Unleaded Gas)
 
0-62 MPH was 11.2 Sec
Top Speed was 109 MPH
 
Super Unleaded costs $2.833 here on the East Coast (Aug 16 2009)
Diesel costs $2.665
If you drove 15,000 miles a year using Super Unleaded $2360 per year
The Diesel would cost you $1537 per year or a savings of $823 per year without the government tax incentives for Diesel Vehicles...
 
Seven year savings (usual time I keep a car) would be $5761 before the government tax incentives!!!
 
Why don't we have these in the USA? 597 Miles per 19 gallon tank of diesel verses 291 Miles with Super Unleaded (hwy)... WTH Toyota???

For future reference, we prefer that you not post duplicate messages in several topics. It confuses readers and we regard it as spamming the Forums.
