I think you'll find that it's around US10 mpg with the Hemi and US13 mpg with 3.0 Ecodiesel.

Have to agree, but we aren't big enough to get our own focus. We are just stuck in the middle and get either what USA or Europe gets. Depends on the origin of the car.

The RR V8 might signal a change in approach, sure it's top end stuff but,
if Ford shows head office that we've been fishing with the wrong bait then,
perhaps our market is then seen through different eyes..
