As one person once said about Diesels' future in motoring.."the talk of diesels demise has been greatly exaggerated."
yeah thats why many European cities are banning or will be banning diesel powered vehicles.
Also if the manufacturers cant get on top of dpf issues or ad blue issues then the public will be voting with their wallets & that will herald the beginning of the end.

not just diesel ... also petrol ... Europe (Belgium) by 2020 ... but possibly still hybrid ...
I wonder sometimes the amount of waste from dead cell batteries and amount of power needed to charge these electric vehicles ... Mazda is leading in technology for the present time in efficiency and minimising emissions ... in another 20 yrs things' may go down a different path ...

When we were buying our Outlander, I looked quickly at the Mazda CX7. Nice car. I checked the specs and the compression ratio was quoted as something like 11.5:1 (or maybe even higher). That was enough for me - I went away,because at those levels, it must need premium grade petrol, and that is expensive. We have a friend who bought a Toyota CH5 or similar. Ugly as sin, but has nice features. It has a 1.2L turbocharged engine and it must use premium grade fuel. Friend is not so impressed now because it is dearer than her old Honda Civic to run.

you must have been looking at the CX7 Turbo as the naturally aspirated CX7 2.5L motor ran on 91 RON ... (but was very thirsty) ... 2012 last build
yes is a fair price in fuel pricing difference ... but filling a approx 50 L tank and getting 1000km seems a convenience ... my favourite (of which many salesman tell me doesn't exist) is the Peugeot 308 3 cylinder 1.2l on 95 RON 53L tank average of 1000km ...
NB 11sec to 100km/h and max speed 200km/h it's up on my fav's of the Euro 6 rating's
