Thanks for the credits

Here's a bad quality video made with my phone; i was accelerating normal in 5th gear from 119km/h to 147 km/h (74 mph to 91 mph):

I live in NY and we are not able to register a new diesel car in this wonderful state. I believe that they must have 5,000 miles on them to register here, but I'm not totally sure. I know a guy that would jump all over a diesel car because he has a diesel bus that he converted to run on used cooking oil. I guess he could purchase a used one from out of state, but he doesn't seem to want to, or maybe just cannot find much. Anyhow, I cannot imagine how efficient it would be if he had a smaller vehicle.

Nice pics. Judging from your video, 5th gear acceleration seems faster then my gas powered 1.5L. I'd need to be in third gear to let loose the horses to defeat the diesel's torque.

Personally, I don't know if I'd give-up the quickness of the 1.5L for the durability inherent in a diesel engine. I suppose the initial clutch take-up and the ability to loaf around at a very low rpm could sway the balance. It's too bad we don't have that engine here in North America.

@ REM

That's a strange policy in your state.
Older diesel cars put out more soot (i don't know if that's the correct name for it) than younger ones.

In Europe it's forbidden in about 1/2 years to drive a car without a sootfilter.
Our goverment gives us subsidy for placing a sootfilter, so it's free.

In a lot of cities, trucks without this sootfilters are forbidden to enter the citycentre!

@ Pars

I didn't expect that the diesel is faster then the 1.5l Yaris. I think if you go from 0-60mph the gas powered one is faster!
But because of the torque what you get in the diesel it doesn't matter in wich gear you drive.
