The 2.0 LPT at 70 MPH in 5th gear does 3000 rpm. There is the possibility that the bigger engine will not require that much more fuel to achieve the same performance as the 2.0 The fuel penalty will come in if you start pushing that engine through the gears. Regards Charles PS. On the other running costs, in the UK at least insurance will be somewhat different for an Aero. -- Please remove _removeme_ to reply.
