I can't answer that nihalahamed, but I'm wondering why you ask. Last time I was in Dubai, petrol was about 24 euro cents a liter, which is about 1/6 what we're paying, so for me the bigger engine the better!

Whereabouts are you in the UAE?

My question is when compared to v6 does v8 drink a lot of petrol ? cause my father says that the difference is quite large which I don't believe so I have to actually come up with a answer so that I convince my father to take v8 ! the only problem he thinks about v8 is its fuel consumption.

I live in AbuHail,Dubai
well myself studying Computer Science Engineering in Dubai

According to nextgreencar.com the V6 petrol gives 21mpg whereas the the diesel V8 gives 30mpg . Its a big car and a lot of weight to move so the smaller engine must work twice as hard to get it moving . I only read a few reviews but avoid the V6 seems a popular comment . Hope that helps .

Hi nihalahamed.

Welcome to the club
Shayne has it spot on, the V8 is going to give you better results at the end.
