From what I've seen, diesel engines have yet to catch on over there? My Land Rover has a 2.5 TDI (Turbo Diesel) that gets 30mpg+ average, the petrol version (a 3.9 V8) gets 22mpg tops (usually under 20mpg). Unsurprisingly the majority in this area have the TDI powerplant! In other words, by building it to a sensible size and fitting a TDI you can have a 4x4 that costs about the same to run as a 1.6 petrol car (I get better average mpg than a new Mini Cooper S, according to the official figures).
