Yup yup yup, it's a diesel. And in the U.K. they have man sized gallons. They also have much lower speed limits on average IIRC, so it was probably puttering along at ~40mph in OD most of the time. Tossing out the extra energy of diesel fuel (~12-14%) and the man sized gallons leaves up w/ ~60mpg U.S. at ~40mph average speed. Totally doable if ya happen to have the right route. And no, that doesn't mean going 20mph in a 55mph zone.
