Yes Herbert I agree.  Your data is in the range to the =

averages values that I posted.   Here in Argentina its the =

same.  We have similar engines with similar power =

consumptions (1.6L to 2.5L engines).

Some vehicles like AUDI A3 Turbo Diesel wiht 1.8L and about =

125HP can accomplish a similar fuel consumption at 140km/h
