My head is not in "the sand" at all. Put on your glasses. I understand the existence, and difference between imperial UK gallons, US wet gallons, US dry gallons, Kms, US miles, etc.
I made it clear in my post when speaking of gallons - by putting "US" next to them.
You stated a Deere 404 diesel in a truck got 42 miles per Imperial Gallon and that is equal to around 35 miles per U.S. wet gallons.
That is just about impossible. It defies anything I've witnessed first-hand and also the many fuel-consumption and test charts available.
404 Deere is a good engine - but there's nothing special about it when compared to other DI diesels.
Tell me where it is - and I make this offer. If it gets 35 MPG - in any observed test at highway speed - I will pay $10,000 for the truck. If it tests at less - I get it for free plus any shipping and travel expenses I incurr. That is a solid offer - right now - for any full size truck with a NA 404 Deere engine that gets 35 MPG US or 42 MPG Canadian-British.

Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
