Just out of curiosity, do many people own V8's in the UK? Every time I see a car reviewed from a UK source the emphasis placed on fuel economy amazes me. There are a lot of car makes with models that come with a diesel engine that you don't see in Australia.

Obsession with fuel economy intrigues me too, fuel is expensive here yes but it’s expensive in all of Europe yet the rest of Europe don’t seem similarly obsessed? People here love a good fuel economy, they will drive in a way that is damaging to the car if it means getting more miles per gallon, even if it means costing more overall in repairs...
