• Mercedes seem to be able to make some petrol engines with low enough co2, and I considered another one coz my W124 is bloody great, but modern Mercs don't really do much for me. I might test drive a derv jag in the spring to see if it changes my mind, but I think I'll wait. Apparently the petrol motor is still the Ford Ecoboost, and the new JLR Ingenium petrol engine is yet to be launched. Maybe it will get under the 160 barrier.

  • That's another thing. It's nasty stuff, and I can see the current political rules that promote it changing. Fingers crossed.
    I might be wrong about the engine, by the way. The Ecoboost is in the XJ but the XE may well have the Ingenium petrol as well as the diesel.
