Can't wait to see how it goes....I'm a massive turbo-diesel fan.

My next major car purchase is definitely going to be either an Astra TDi or a VW Golf TDi, but this could now be an option :)

Imagine what it would sound like.....sorta like the psi performance dyno room....constantly pinging HAHAHAHAHAHA

I'll be interested in seeing what volume/size motor they will bring out i.e., 3ltr?? A forry with lift kit/body lift/decent shocks/springs, underbody bash gaurds, etc would be a great light weight field vehicle with diesel making it easier to use out bush :icon_wink

I dont see diesel cars being as popular here as europe.
If for no other reason, our diesel isnt cheaper than petrol. Might be wrong though, just guessing.

More options to replace diesel in the future than unleaded.

Also, considering you get more out of a tank of diesel than ULP - Could work out the same for some/many vehicles.

About time they brought in a diesel.

They're getting there!! You'd be surprised how popular they've become in the past 12 months.

Diesel may be more expensive per litre but kilometers per litre it works out cheaper to run Diesel over ULP or LPG.

While on the subject BP have now have released a Ultimate Diesel fuel.
