Oh dear... given the ill informed bullshit you've come out with elsewhere in this thread, none of which you've bothered to qualify when others have picked you up on it, that really is quite rich!
Come on, tell us all about the '12p a litre' fuel differential you felt was worthy of mentioning? :-D

That was a quote, from the same article that you wish to believe some of but not all of.
You really are a dumb f*ck.
T'was you who decided to quote it - you obviously felt it was something to bolster your argument regarding the economics of owning a diesel and yet it was flawed, wrong and therefore irrelevant in any sense other than to illustrate you're a bit of a retard who doesn't do his homework before posting.
HTH

I could have butchered the quote to omit parts superseded by the passage of time. I suspect that you'd have been crying "foul" then as well. In general when one quotes something one quotes it verbatim.
As you well know, but you're on one of your missions, again, I see.
What the quote did show was that the claim of you and others that the
*average* price differential diesel-petrol was "less than £1k" was arong and that your claims about payback time were wrong as well. And in later posts you proved that you are mathematically illiterate. Quelle surprise.
I can't believe you actually wrote that :)
I can... ;-)
-- JackH
I quoted the article verbatim, a concept that you don't seem to understand.
I fully understand - you found an article that appeared to have various points that add weight to your argument against the economics of running a diesel over a petrol.
This is the crucial bit with regards to your fuckwittery in respect of quoting said article; you only quoted certain paragraphs from it rather than the whole article.
And the reason you picked and choosed the paragraphs concerned was because you believed the paragraphs concerned added weight to your argument.
Alas, you didn't do your homework before quoting the article did you... because if you had, you would have noted that it was published towards the end of November 2009, when the price differential average overall between petrol and diesel was just over 1p per litre, and was therefore wrong and just served to underline how ignorant you are.
In short, you are an ignoramous.
Au contraire.
-- JackH
And then you go on to prove that you don't.
"In short, you are an ignoramous."
-- JackH
As I said, you then go, or rather went on, to prove that you don't understand.
:-)
Keep wriggling.

How do you stop it sounding like a bag of spanners and having a 1500rpm powerband?

Tim's had his right foot replaced with a club hammmer.
Que? 1500 rpm powerband?
The only diesel we ever had was a Volvo V70 & that started orking at app. 12/1300 rpm , with the power tailing off after app. 41/4200 rpm. The autobox always kept it in it's useful range & it didn't sound like anyones bag of spanners, just a bit gruff.
Granted my 3-litre V6 Mondeo starts working at 900 rpm & is happy to about 6200 rpm, but it's a petrol engine, has (offically) high emissions & cost's a fortune in road tax. I don't care though, it can still better 30 mpg on a run ( 6-speed manual. so I can use the torque, & I don't bother to rev it unless needed) & is sooo relaxed to drive!
