When taking it easy,and giving it some stick,i found the C20XE was far more economical than the 1400 8v.

If your worried about fuel consumption, don't do the conversion. It you weary regarding money, don't start it.

Doing an engine conversion and worrying about fuel consumption is stupid.

Cheers for the sensiblr replies guys

Not particularly worried about the cost, more as to the MPG comparison to my previous motor.

Diesel is for pussies anyway

Caring about fuel consumptions is for pussies IMHO. If it needs filling it, fill it up. Simple.
