    I prefer petrol before pretol, but as petrol isn't an option, I stick to pretol. As long as the stations will pump it out, it is petrol all the way. Why stop the revs where the fun begins.

    Normal petrol engines just dont do it for me any more unless they're clever, turbo/supercharged or have 5 cylinders or more ;)
    I came from having supercharged Lancias to 'normal' motoring for a bit (came to my senses) and the only way to get back on that wall of torque again is to go JTD ;D
    I haven't driven an Abarth/Schui yet, but I still think point to point a well driven JTD would be more than a match except for the aural stimulation :o
    Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - I smell a test coming on 8)
    I guess the main thing is the power, economy and low running costs of a JTD over a petrol job.
