If they were going 1000km on a tank of gas I doubt it would be a hard sell.

Ummm, let's see, 42 litres, or so at $1.22 is $51.42, range for me, in a Zetec is 520 kms. I do a minimum of 660 kms a week.

42 litres, at what $1.50?, is $63.00, for a diesel with hopefully a range of 1000, would save me around $100.00 a month. Works for me.

We don't get the diesel or the Euro Focus because over here, for the common man and woman, the Focus is an economy car, usually a second car. Over in the rest of the world, the Focus is more of a mid-size car, and more expensive.
