I reckon you get better fuel-economy in a 1.9 Diesel, or a 1.8/2.0t Petrol.
You dont need 250 HP to cruise along at 90 miles an hour.
We used to have a 9-3 2.2 Diesel, and it was just WONDERFUL to drive around Europe in. Used about 0.5l a mile (10 km)
Now we got a midsize SUV, with a 2.0 turbodiesel engine, producing originally 120 HP, but it's "chipped" up to 135, and when I go on roadtrips outside Norway (to Sweden), and I'm cruising at 130-140 km/h, it uses ALL the diesel in the WORLD.
So in the summer I rather use my 1993 Mazda 2.0l Petrol with 120 HP. On a "beer trip" to Sweden that saves me like $50.
