With 118bhp the BlueHDI 120
diesel offers sufficient performance for most, yet is claimed to return almost 80mpg.
Not exact matches
Engine braking, not normally a
diesel strong suit, was surprisingly good; the truck doesn't
offer factory exhaust brake, but the 3.0 - liter
diesel's variable - nozzle turbo can create
sufficient backpressure to serve the same purpose, and it did a nice job keeping speed in check on downgrades.
But it's not realistic: Nationwide, there are only about 3500 service stations (out of 120,000) that
offer natural gas — based automotive fuel, and it would cost billions of dollars and take years to develop
sufficient infrastructure to make that fuel competitive with gasoline or
diesel.
