The test is by 4x4 magazine, and includes heavy off road use - take your Italian shoe box off road and see what mileage you get.

CSV8 you do the same with your Daewoo
That's a really stupid thing to say. I'll take my Prado off road, thanks. But I'm amongst the very VERY small percentage of 4WD owners that ever takes them off bitumen. Read my post again - I'm not talking about fuel economy. I'm talking about power output.

Didn't say it was. Didn't assume it is. Was just stating how I like my motors.

I meant a vehicle designed to go off road, not one that particularly has to. Off roaders are big and heavy and need torque to get moving, more so than power.
