IANAM (I am not a Marshall), but I believe the diesel engines in the 190 were all of high quality - some had better mileage than others (the 2.2 was pretty frugal), and the 2.5 turbo was a relative rocket (but drank diesel). If you can find a stick, mileage improves quite a bit, but then the cost goes up as well, due to the rarity.
