What's the real-world difference in MPG Mick (and therefore cost)?

Is it a case of "I've got loads more cash left over" or "it's still pretty bad but the SC was even worse Smile "?

So Mick, all things being equal, would you endorse a move to the dark side, or get an LPG conversion? Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

@ Cappo … suppose it's more of a "it's not too bad but the SC was even worse" but i also have more cash left over as well …. Laughing

@ alanm….. Although previously having had the FFRR 3.0TD6 before the SC , i was a bit hesitant about going back to a diesel , but now after having had the 3.6 TDV8 for a few weeks now i would to a point recommend them ……..LPG's sorry don't have enough know how on them Thumbs Up

@ scarey …. Laughing Laughing Laughing
