This one is for you, Cab

According to a local dealership's page, "BMW has announced that they will be bringing 4-cylinder diesel models to the US market in the next couple of years. They will have outstanding turbo performance, but with 60 MPGs! It may be the same engine currently launching in the European 3-series."

Is that 60mpg for the US gallon? If so that will be wonderful news for Canadians whose gallon is a little larger, giving us about 72mpg 
|

Yeah but remember that our miles (kilometres)
 are smaller than the US mile, so that still works out to specific consumption of around 4 litres/100 kms.

Now you're going to get Cab out with his Canadian gallon thing again and confuse everybody 
72mpCg or 4l/100kms...I like it a lot! |
|
I've also heard that they're experimenting with 3-cylinder engines, and BMW-badged FWD cars.
I could definitely be happy with a diesel 1-series hatch/wagon or 3-series wagon as my next commuter car in a few years. Cab

You are preaching to the converted with me!
The USA is the only significant country that is not on the SI. :frown:
