Re: Towing vehicle,4x4 or estate??

If I had to pay for the fuel for my Navara (it's a company car, and yes I'm very lucky ) I'd be paying out around £400, and thats just going to work and back and a bit of personal stuff, if I go away I reckon it'd be nearer £500

I looked at them and the warrior,nice looking motor not sure about the mpg though.I suppose the discovery tdi would be a bit more economical.My ideal dream car would be a range rover sport...definatly out of my limits

Re: Towing vehicle,4x4 or estate??

Its shocking, where we live is very rural we have to drive everywhere, I would hate to think what we would spend if we didnt have the lpg

We have a cheap estate we got at auction for the day to day stuff which does 40 mpg so we dont use the Jeep all the time, but up here sometimes u have to use it as the roads are too dangerous especially in the winter.

If you believe the narvara's computer (which I don't) it reckons you get about 33 to the gallon... I reckon it's really nearer to 24, which isn't great.

I saw a bloke put £113 into the range rover sport today Panic buying ftw

Yeah the boot ones are a waste of time we nearly got caught out by that! ours in is in the spare wheel well so doesnt take any space.

I'm about 30 miles North of Aberbeen in the sticks
