Yep, sounds okay or in fact rather better than average if it's a LWB.

It seems that a 4 litre petrol costs twice that of a 3 litre diesel in fuel costs.
It seems that diesel generally became cheaper than petrol in early March 2007. ( EDIT:- 29th March it was 10 cents less than unleaded)
Will diesel vehicles increase in value?

Mine is shocking on fuel only way is to put hit on gas, mine is surprisingly efficient on gas
