For 99% of driving I do it's more than enough and it returns 40mpg if you drive it sensibly. I also have a speed limiter usually sitting in the passenger seat called a wife . Yes the 30d is better but if you used the extra power you'd see poorer fuel economy. The 20d is just right IMO although I would be tempted by the 30d if ordering now (it wasn't available when I ordered last Oct)
