I can't think of a N/A diesel on the market........I think all the diesels from Europe and most of the pickups are turbocharged.

Fuel consumption and emissions have become more important the last few years (for me, at least) and my expectations have risen accordingly. I can get 8 to 8,5l/100km on rural roads but that's on rural roads only. On the freeway, I most commonly drive 120km/h and that costs me +10% in consumption. On autobahn stretches when I cannot resist the temptation, the average soars to 11,5 l/100km when I hold speeds 130-170km/h.

Part of this is just that the 2,5 litre petrol is working quite hard, and the rest is the fact the X3 is not a sedan. But my dad's X5 makes better figures across the board, at all speeds urban and highway although I haven't driven it faster than 130km/h. And it's got tons of power and emits less CO². Kind of a win-win situation.

Admittedly, the petrol soundtrack is more heroic when overtaking on two-lane roads which I do with some frequency. But the diesel has that chunky mid-range so actually getting past 2 or 3 cars is easier.

Sorry, not gonna bother translating the metric figures.
