Former coworker used to drive to work in a Mazda diesel pickup- got about 30/35 MPG mostly around town. Younger brother drives a 80's Ford Escort diesel in summer- getting 45/50 on country roads.

Mercedes 2.8 and 3 liter diesels in car and light trucks get 25/30 MPG. There may be a lesson here. RN
