The USMC diesel KLR, which the Scimitar is an example of, actually does get over 100 mpg.

I concur. Diesels are very fuel efficient, but you'll have huge torque but lower horsepower and a lower rev limit. It's all a tradeoff. -Jeff Khoury

Try this if you have a taste for diesel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ol0q7cCPCZ0&feature=fvst note: kerosene is higher refined diesel. I ran jet fuel in my diesel pickup without 'complaint'. Some ag plane turbines use diesel; the time between overhall is 1/2 as I recall. revmaaatin.
