Quote: As for the Evoque, I'd already done 1000 miles in the high output diesel, so I was keen to try the smoother, more powerful petrol. Didn't like it nearly as much; it goes a bit harder, but there's an annoying lag followed by a surge from the turbo, whereas the oil burner meters out its torque exactly as requested. I'll bet there's 10-15mpg difference between the two, which means 100 to 150 more miles of touring range for the diesel, even if you don't care about the price of fuel.
