Actually, it would be all diesels. The torque of a diesel, and it's idling capabilities in stop and go driving is not only much better suited, it turns in much higher mpg figures than a gasser in city driving. The dismal fact about gassers is they suck at city mpg driving. Diesels do everything well, especially the turbo-boosted ones, if your settings are done correctly, that's the real beauty of them. My '83 300SD was outstanding in city driving and performance in the city too. He may not know it, but his 300SD is perhaps one of the best cars money can buy for total value out there.
