I suppose most of the gallons talked about on this site are 6 pint gallons.
Yes, unless the car's owner is another of your Queen's subjects.

Going back to the car: It is good but not wonderful, the turbo lag and the reletivly rough ride can make even the driver feel a bit travel sick.
Never experienced that in the li'l Skoda.
Surely the 3-pitter diesel ain't exactly smooth, but it should be going OK.
For its size, I think it pulls remarkably well at low revs.

And the mpg is not much better than a normal small diesel
Your 60 mpg (UK) is a bit on the high side, but 85mpg (UK) is nothing to laugh at.
