There are no tax breaks in the UK for diesels, except perhaps for low  
emissions.  Anyway, I paid for my own car rather than a company  
paying for it.

The Lexus hybrid (RX400) has worse fuel consumption than my ML270 CDi  
had.  And I sold that because I wanted to be a little more  
environmentally friendly in the vehicle I drove.  My little Beemer  
(320d) gives me 50mpg (on proper-sized gallons of course) and it goes  
like sh*t off a hot shovel ;-)

OM content: I can fit all my OMs and E-thingies in the boot and the  
XAs fit nicely in the door pockets ...
