That's interesting!
over here in England I own a Ford Maverick 2.7ltr Diesel 4X4, it's red line is 4500 - 6000 and I have found if I drive at between 2300-2500 on motorways it gives me a speed of 56 mph and a fuel economy of 42 mpg (if there is no head wind), or around 37/38 mpg with winds which is actualy better than my old small car that had a 1.2 litre petrol engine in it.
around the city as long as I keep my revs between 1300 and 1500 ( approx 30mph) I can get between 28 and 30 mpg if there are no hills
