rpcm ◊ 2008-09-04 04:02	Until recently, there was a huge difference of price between petrol and diesel fuels in Portugal. Very few petrol versions of the models that had an alternative diesel version were sold. The /8 Mercedes is a good example: it was a very popular model here ( although not in this Lang version ) and these 1968+ cars were almost all 220 D, very few were 220 or 250 petrol-engined versions and even some of these were later converted to diesel with new engines.
