* Actually I have a problem with the german version of this DPL-Table (http://de.wiki-products.org/Treibstoffverbrauch_von_PKWs_im_Vergleich). In the first column there is an automatical line breake in the name of the models. This doesn't look very good and I would prefer that the width of the column is adjusted (like in the english version...http://en.wiki-products.org/Fuel_economy). I have no clue why they are different at all. Can somebody help? --[[User:Gollum2|Gollum2]] 13:49, 14 October 2007 (CEST)
