So we can both achieve 8 l/100 km by driving conservatively on the highway, pretty good numbers for a petrol SUV. Thing is, you have a 2.5 automatic (184 hp?) and we have a 3.0 si manual (265 hp). I pick the new one. I don't think the transmission makes much of a difference, so it comes down to the DI design offsetting the 80 hp advantage. nteresting.
