I would love a 300SDL or a 350SDL W126 with crate motor, For a Truck I would just go with a Dodge and the Cummings. For a mini-van I would like a Honda Odyssey with a TDI or CDI.
But at last, our next car will be a Honda Odyssey with a gas engine, the powers that be have already dictated it. We will end up getting one before the end of the year. Actually I bet it will be just after I place next order with Rusty and wife flips out that I need to replace timing chain, rebuild suspension pump, and fix oil leaks on her car.

That was sort of what I was baseing the 25mpg number on. That and the guy with the F150 4BT that claimed 28mpg. I still have a pipe dream (future plan sounds better though eh?) of putting a 4BT into an International Scout. Tough cool truck with a reasonably powerful diesel engine. The Scout with the Nissan 101hp diesel supposedly could pull 30mpg... No extra power there though. -Curt Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2007 20:26:08 -0800 From: Jim Cathey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Ford Diesels?

My 3/4 ton Dodge diesel will turn in 25-26 mpg, at 60 MPH on the freeway. 20-21 for more normal freeway speeds. -- Jim --------------------------------- Cheap Talk? Check out Yahoo!
